An object itself is never art; whether a pigment smeared piece of cloth or a frying pan. The art is what is transferred. Like color. Objects do not have color. They are colorless. It's light that IS color. It's how light is reflected and transferred to the eye that determines what color we see and how we see it. An object's surface may reconfigure light, but it is light that gives us the message. Art is like light. Perhaps an object emits "Art-Photons" or "Artons" that are placed into it by the artist's intent. Then the viewer, to complete the transfer, needs to be able to pick up the right wavelength of Artons in order to appreciate (see) the art.

Success or failure in art, or any endeavor,
is determined by a modifiable set of criteria.
Who sets the criteria? We all do.
It could be money, color, getting into a show,
getting into someone's pants, adhering to a set of rules,
anything. One's intent sets the criteria in the artist's mind; 
expectation, in the viewer's.
