The Artist Certificate series explores conceptual art,
taking a minimalist approach, but it's complicated.
Postmodern art rebels against tradition, so Susan Sontag wrote in the 1960s that the most interesting art of her time was boring. She meant that as a compliment, but today we take that as a call for action. Therefore we mustask what interesting means.
A.J.Ayers writes in "Language, Truth and Logic", that the criterion we use to test the genuineness of apparent statements is he criterion of verifiability. We say that a sentence is factually significant to any given person if, and only if, they know how to verify the proposition it purports to express.
