1. “To destroy is to create”
Some times, we just limit to the function of one product, the meaning the inventor give to it, but we as human begins are able to find another use to the same product because we, by nature, are creative. Maybe if we brake apart or take of pieces of one product we can make something else and find a different perspective to it. “Some one else’s trash can be someone else’s treasure” The intention of this artists, is to make something up randomly that make no sense, and for them is art, because it represent art as it is, without forcing it or having a technique.
Some examples of this kind of art are:
Poems (cut words in a piece of paper, put them on a box and start taking out randomly and put all that words together)
Pictures/paintings (tear a work of art, and try to put all the pieces together)
Objects (broke or modify an object to give it another use)
2. “Ready –made art”
Is an art style that consists in everyday objects selected and designated as art. This style objective is to perceive art in any object we have. No matter is not creative, or have this are technique, just find an objet and give it a meaning or reason to be consider a piece of art. For example, Duchamp created the first ready-made, Bicycle Wheel (1913), which consisted of a wheel mounted on a stool, as a protest against the excessive importance attached to works of art. This work was technically a “ready-made assisted,” because the artist intervened by combining two objects. However, ready-mades are used in a completely different context than their original, intended functions. Ready-mades are elevated to the status of art simply because the artist says they are art. Another ready-made pieces of art are:
Adding mustache and beard on the color reproduction of the Mona Lisa
Duchamp’s porcelain urinal that he turned on its back, titled Fountain.
A typewriter cover
