The line between what is art and what is not art continues to be a blur for me. At the Whitney, there is a row of plain copper plates placed neatly aligned on the floor just in front of the paintings hung on the wall. It's actually a piece of work by Carl Andre called Twenty-Ninth Copper Cardinals. The copper plates are placed such that you make your way along them or around them. In the context of the museum where visitors are not supposed to touch the art, the act of standing on a sculpture is both unexpected and transgressive.
Frankly I'm not convinced by this blur art story.
