'tis a cake server for use in high-security prisons. On an inmates birthday, this server is affixed to a long sturdy pole. A slice of cake is inspected, placed of the server and pushed through the cell bars. If anything goes awry the server can be used as a defensive weapon.
"Why not just leave it and appreciate for what it is and nothing more?"
So why is it terrible to present it as such in a gallery? How is this a scam? For one thing, not all artwork in a show has a price tag. It's there to be looked at and thought about. I think your argument is that artists are gaining fame and fortune undeservedly. That they are selling garbage, because it's materiel worth is negligible.
Essentially, Art is not about making money. Its about presenting ideas to the public for contemplation. It is an offering to us of something to think about. It is their idea that they feel strongly enough about to create. Although the material in this case I think is part of the message, the material doesn't determine the 'worth'. If someone is willing to pay big bucks for a piece like this they obviously can see and feel something more worthy in it that just a ball of tinfoil. Does that make them a fool?
"This is the Ultimate frustration of some of us Unbelievers of Art- We do things daily and we make glorious stuff that everybody laughs or smirks aside."
I suppose it takes an artist to look at something so commonplace and see the beauty and meaning in it. It takes an artist to consider something rather than smirk it aside. Why is this not art? Why are we so quick to discredit it? Because of the material? Do we discredit it because it is trash? Because you could make it?
Firstly, take the material out of context and look at it. It's a stunning, unique visual in itself. Think of your connections with such a mundane material. What does it reference? What connections does it find? Ask why.
People are so quick to disregard (and apparently feel anger about) work like this because they feel like they could make the same thing. But they don't. They unfortunately cant see what there is to see and cast it away.
