Kaprow Article


Kaprow touches on a very important point in his article The Blurring of Art and Life; even the little things in life have the capability to be art. He shows this through the example of brushing his teeth. I think this relates very well to our next project. Everyday things we use are going to be the main focus of our art. By focusing on the little things we cannot do without everyday they begin to have more meaning. I am curious to find out what objects mean the most to me after this project.

                What I found difficult in this article is his description on how toothbrushing is relevant to art. I understand that anything can be considered art depending on how you look at it, but I do not understand his abstract reasoning of why. I think he drifts from his point and this makes it hard to follow. I think he could strengthen his argument by using a more in depth example of how he makes everyday tasks art.
