IS IT ART ?
 2001  
.

When a coin is inserted, the white door of the hatch opens.
When an object is inserted in the hatch and the button is pressed, the hatch closes again and the object rises up inside a glass case.
The expert (a portrait of Nicholas Serota) leans over to inspect the object, then returns and nods as if he approves.After a short pause he shakes his head, changing his mind. The object is then returned and tipped out on the floor.

On the back of the case I put a selection of historical cartoons about art with a piece about the history of art snobbery
