| | Over the past year, I've spent a lot of time reading books about the definition of art and the contemporary art world, and also talking to a few artists. Many of the books I've read recently were meant or recommended as introductions to contemporary art, and some explicitly promised to demystify contemporary art and to explain what it is. And the differing approaches surprised me: it wasn't just that different authors have different answers, but they seemed to be answering completely different questions. These discussions seem endlessly confusing because not only have people not explained some basic assumptions they've made about the scope of the term "art," it's hard to even tell that they're talking about different things. Most authors do not even answer this question: when you say you're defining "art," what activities do you consider to be "art"? Are you talking specifically about contemporary art, the arts in general, or something in-between?
