Given the beat-up that postmodernism has been given in recent years, its kind of interesting to see that discussions that rest on some key postmodern ideas continue to be relevant.

I think the key takeaway, if any from postmodernism, is that categorisations are never as objective as we'd like. Language is made up, and the points don't matter.

What even is art?

Art is whatever people say it is.
