1960s minimalism and land art

Michael Craig Martin - An Oak Tree (1973)

- extreme DADA
- because he says it's a oak tree, it is an oak tree
- things are what we perceive them to be
- we just accept that we would normally call this a glass of water, but who says that is correct?
- this is not a glass of water, it is an oak tree, because the artist says it's an oak tree.
