6. Do you think installation art is art?

How about performance art? How about abstract art? Or must every "artist" be subjected to a test similar to yours, for example, demonstrating proficiency at traditional drawing and panting methods in order to prove himself or herself worthy of being called an "artist"? I say, no. If that artist says it's art, or if the musician says it's music, then it is. If I don't like it, I won't look at it or buy it.

Are we a Big Tent? Or are we a Country Club?
