Being different or radical doesn't guarantee that it's art. At least it shouldn't. The problem with contemporary art is that it turned into a who knows who business. When the craft part of art is overlooked and idea part is praised over everything else, everybody who are splashing paint onto canvas and writing something cool for descriptions can label themselves as artists. This is art schools' fault for the most part since they are trying to squeeze the love of beauty and classical art out of students.
