What does it mean for art to be good? Is art good when it’s hyperrealistic? When it’s abstract to the point of being unrecognizable? Is good art devoid of meaning and just a display of skill? Or does good art require a meaning so deep and inscrutable that even the artist doesn’t fully understand it? To create good art does the artist have to suffer? Or can good art be created by the artist having fun? The answers to these questions change depending on who is asking the question as well as who is answering it. There are infinitely many ways to answer these questions. Which means that no matter who you ask there can be no true answer to the question “What does it mean for art to be good?” This leads to the conclusion that: There is no such thing as good art which means that All Art is Good Art.
This assertion is the driving force behind No Such Thing. Taking inspiration from art movements such as Anti-art, Dadaism as well as Fluxus, Bryce Brown enlists your help in exploring the innate subjectivity that accompanies assigning value to art as well as what it means to be an Artist. By encouraging the public to take an active role in the exhibition by creating their own pieces on found objects like pieces of cardboard boxes and grocery bags, then placing them on the walls the participant shifts from being a viewer to being an artist themselves. In doing so, Bryce aims to show people that the title of “Artist” is a title that belongs to everyone and that even if they don’t consider themselves talented or do it as a hobby their art can be considered Art.
