Art NOT Art

I came across the work of Lilly McElroy while surfing Reddit. I’m confused. Is this art? She has a photo series of her laying down in tmampublic places. It’s called Locations you can find it in her poorly designed website. I say poorly because navigation suck. Lilly if you read this, I know a guy who can help. 

She also has a series called, “I throw myself at men.”

So I ask, is this art? Or is this an art school like art project? Would you stand in line to see it? Does it make you feel anything?

I think the debate about what is art and what isn't is pretty sterile. Anything that we think of as art, is art.

The more thorny question is whether it's "good" art...

Well said. I am really asking, "Is it good?"

And yes, I quite liked the photos of her throwing herself at men. Found them quite amusing and poingnant. I know some women like that (and men, for that matter).
