What the hell is art anyway these days?



I couldn't believe it when i discovered these images of Hannes Broecker's installation at the Dresden gallery, Germany. It basically involves clear plastic boxes filled with a coloured liquid. Throughout the evening spectators were invited to drink the art until the boxes were empty? But can this really be classed as 'a work of art?' I think that what used to be classed as beautiful paintings has now been reduced to literally anything from Tracy Emin's knickers to the Turner prize winning 'clean' squares to drinkable art? What the hell is next?
