Exactly. This is designed as "anti-art" but now for the better part of a century "antiart" has been considered the leading "artform".

If it is only art on the basis of hanging in a gallery or museum, it isn't art (even if it may be a "design classic").

No one goes to the hardware store to admire the "collection" of urinal fixtures. But seeing a urinal fixture in a museum gallery with accented lighting "makes a statement". A taxpaying critic should make a statement too and USE that high falutin' urinal. And do it with people watching. Call it peformance art. And be prepared to give interviews when you are arrested. Milk that "controversy" for all it is work. You too can become a highly paid BS Artist.

Most great art was the result of collaboration between an enlightened patron and skilled artisans. Painters need not have great thoughts. Today, even comissioned art reflects the patron, usually a committee.
