What makes art?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Wed, 07/18/2012 - 9:22am.

There is a line between creating uncomfortable situations to explore themes and to engender understanding or compassion in an audience, and being abusive to the audience. The performer's ability to address an audience is a privilege that is given to them - NOT one that they "deserve." Public cruelty and humiliation is not art. This sounds like an immense ego wank.
