What Art Is and What Art Is Good Art
Ben Dudley
Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
Two self-proclaimed experts offer the definitive, final statement on art.
Great minds have devoted centuries of thought to answering the question “What is art?” That’s too much thought. Forty-five minutes is enough. Join scholars and artists Ben and Liz for a wide-ranging, absurd, and barely educational presentation on the long history and brief future of art.
