Kaprow's piece The Blurring of Art and Life was so fascinating to me. The way that the different art forms were introduced and exemplified really brought clarity to me. It is not so much the piece of work that's displayed in a gallery it is the piece of work and the story behind it. Real life scenarios for example Kaprow and the toothbrush; it wasn't so much the the toothbrush and just brushing your teeth. It was the real life action that triggered the 5 senses which truly made it live art.
In my opinion there was nothing wrong with this piece of writing. Kaprow did an great job demonstrating art and life, he says "An artist concerned with lifelike art is an artist who does and does not make art" (222). This really shows me that it's not about captivating an object that people will understand, it's about creating the unthinkable that may be ignored in everyday life.
