Art Which Can't Be Art

I think that Alan Kaprow is trying to make us realize that we go through our daily routines mindlessly thinking that because we do it everyday it can not be art. If we were to slow down a little and take the time to pay attention to what we are doing we might find that even our simple daily routines could be art. I think that we might consider it a little silly at first because its so normal to do things everyday like brushing our teeth but with an open mind and more observation i think we would discover so much more art.

This article can relate to our class because the time based art that we are looking at and learning about is sometimes questioned if its really art or not. You have to stop and think about the true meaning or why something was created or done instead of just dismissing it because it looks so simple or normal.
