- Representation (Plato)

- A medium for the transmission of feelings (Tolstoy)

- “zweckmassigkeit ohne zweck” (Kant)

- Intuitive expression (Corce)

- Significant form (Bell)

- Anything and everything the artworlds coins as such

- nonsensical/irrelevant question, the true nature of the work of art is based on the creative transgeression of every thinkable standard and the re-definition of every possible self definition

- Necessary and sufficient conditions to ascertain the truth of the statement that object X is an artwork

The function of an artwork can be discussed and re-considered many times over, even for a single work of art, while still remaining true.

Autonomy

Autonomy / Co-creation

the experience of art - and not the artefact - is the main criterion of artistic value (Shusterman, 2001))

Art Audience

1.  informative or cultural function satisfying our thirst for cultural knowledge,

2. symbolic function satisfying our need to demonstrate social position or persona

3. social function satisfying our need for social interaction,

4. emotional function stimulating, relaxing, escaping, arousing and so forth,

5. artistic function linked to the experience of completing a work of art.

“How works of art, and through them our worlds, may be comprehended and created must be part of basic education for the millions of us who will never be artists of any kind.

Why? Because this will equip us for better survival and success? Rather, because advancement of the understanding is what makes survival and success worthwhile.”

(Goodman, 1984 p.n.b.)
