Is it art yet..

I have an issue with the way art is now being displayed at many museums and I think the time has come to make a clear delineation between ART and ARTIFACT. Too often any little thing that has been graced by the artists touch is deemed art. I'm sorry, but sketchbooks are not art and to see Picasso's sketchbooks on display for the 50th time is tantamount to a gang-rape. We have to reserve the right to edit what goes out into the world with our names on it. Now, if a museum wants to display Picasso's sketchbooks and Monet's brush and Pollacks paint splattered shoes- fine...but they are ARTIFACTS only. If Mass MOCA wants to show the Buchel piece they need to show it as an exhibition of the process of creating a show, or actually make the show about the scandal- they'll probably get their asses sued off and they probably deserve it but at least there would be some honesty about what is really going on.
