“It is necessary to establish what is meant by “interesting” when talking about art.” This quote means that there is no set definition of the concept of the word interesting when it comes to art. Different people find different pieces of art to be interesting to them and they each have different definitions of the word interesting. The Gramsci Monument embodies this quotation as many would find the monument itself to be weird and obscure. Some might find it to be interestingly fascinating while others might find it to be an interesting attempt at art. The monument itself is interesting as it uses raw materials such as wood and duct tape to produce art as opposed to museum exhibits which have pretentious sculptures and paintings. Interesting can have both a positive and a negative connotation and it is important to establish what is meant by the word interesting when discussing art. The Gramsci Monument tries to break all limits and preconception that only specific people can create art and that only specific pieces can be considered as art. Overall I think that the the Gramsci Monument is interestingly fascinating as it attempts to create art with wood and duct tape and it tries to show that there are no boundaries in art.
