I, too, find this an intresting discussion.  Especially love the soon to be 
demolished house example.

What about when the maker/creator says, "yeah, I meant it to be art," can 
it "fail" in its attempt? Can it be so poorly conceived and executed that 
it clearly is not art?  Must we accept his/her assessment?  Does not the 
object itself have to have some qualities of art?  What happens when we are 
unable to determine the intent?  Or the intent has now changed?

Are fireworks art?  Well, let's see: 1) They are created with the intent of 
beauty, wonder, amazement in part, at least.  2) They are seen by others as 
achieving their intent.  I guess by at least two standards discussed, yes, 
they are art!  Great stuff, fireworks.

Does Pearl Discount ARt and Craft have a catalog?

I will be out of touch for a few days and look forward to your intresting 
discussions when I return.  Happy fourth to all, :)
