An art object, as far as I am concerned, is the answer to a question, such as, "What happens when a specific person tries to explore the idea of the 'good life' through the thought process of collage?" The asnwer will be, "This thing on the wall happens."
The process of making the thing on the wall is the 'art event,' and IMO, that is the moment where art happens.
Would you guys stop? You're breaking the back of my mountainous thread. :lol:
