a hose is not art. putting a hose on the ground and labeling it as an art piece does not make it art. it makes it a joke. the joke is on anyone who would consider such a stupid thing to be art.
if a hose on the ground speaks to you then you gots some issues.

This is one of those rare instances when I totally agree with you. To call some hose on the floor modern art, let alone art per se, is like saying that any artist in 2010 can seriously claim to sincerely see art where there isn't any 24/7. That attitude seems to me more dated than modern. Also, it confuses, deliberatly or not, the very concept of what makes a work aesthetically modern, rather than an pedantic joke.
