Vito Acconci and Boundaries

Vito Acconci, 1999

According to Kit White, "Art has no boundaries except those imposed by the needs of the maker...By defining an area of interest or by stating a new priority, art allows us to create new definitions of ourselves and the context in which we operate.  To blur a boundary is to confuse the definition.  To move a boundary is to make a new definition."  Some schools of thought keep tight boundaries on what they consider art or at least acceptable art.  But all the great masters of the past blurred the boundaries of traditional art and pushed for new definitions of art.  That is one of the great things about art, it changes as the world changes.   Enjoy!
