Public art

A way to convince people that it is them getting something out of viewing the art rather than the artist(s) making money. At least in a museum, it's obvious to people that somebody is made money out of it somewhere along the way, since they bought tickets, and could have chosen not to.
Public art is something under the guise of benefitting everybody instead of something that benefits the artist(s).

Art

Any object that is interesting enough for someone to call it so
Person A: *Is about to throw a bicycle wheel that got glue spilled over it into the dumpster*
Person B: Nooooo! Don't do that. It looks like a piece of art!
Person A: How the frick is this a piece of art? I didn't even put effort into it. I just spilled the glue accidentally.
Person B: I think it says something deep about how civilization pretends to spin around and look novel but it really has glue in its tracks and never really goes anywhere
Person A: Wauw, that is actually pretty deep. I should sell it to a rich art collector for $600.000. Don't you think?
Person B: Yeah, totally... No, I'm just kidding. It's worthless because you're not famous.

Person A: Fuck, I hate the art world... Also, what kinda absurd prank was that even?
Person B: It's my own work of performance art. It's called "(UNTITLED)" and you're on national television, buddy.
Person A: Please end my miserable existence already
