The video takes its inspiration from the book ‘What is Art? 27 Questions 27 Answers’ published by the Fondation Beyeler, which has become a go-to introduction to the subject for those eager to develop a basic understanding of some key aspects of art. The 27 questions, formulated by a panel of teens, address the subjects they consider the most relevant. And they get straight to the point, with questions ranging from ‘How did art begin?’ and ‘Can anyone be an artist?’ to ‘Why is the Mona Lisa so famous?’ The book brings together responses from art experts and contributions from the Fondation Beyeler’s art mediation team. Here‘s #1 ’When does something become art?’
