Why is the painting of sunflowers by Van Gogh considered art, but an exact replica not? Why is no one surprised that a simple nylon thread or a urinal are exhibited and lauded at an art gallery and sometimes sold for hundreds of thousands or Euros?

Why is Vincent van Gogh’s painting of sunflowers celebrated as art, while an exact replica is not? What makes a simple nylon thread or a urinal worthy of exhibition and acclaim in art galleries, sometimes fetching hundreds of thousands of euros?
The debate surrounding what constitutes art is both fascinating and complex, often blurring the lines between artistic value and personal or cultural perceptions. This interactive Leqture with Krzysztof Dobrowolski delves into the criteria that define something as "art" and explores the intriguing questions that arise in this context.
In this session, Krzysztof Dobrowolski will guide you through an examination of the fundamental criteria used to classify objects as art. You’ll explore whether art is exclusively created by recognized artists, and how the role of marketing and presentation influences our perception of what is deemed artistic.
The discussion will also address whether beauty can be objectively classified or if it remains a subjective experience influenced by individual and cultural perspectives.
Through engaging interaction and thought-provoking examples, this Leqture encourages participants to challenge their understanding of art and its boundaries. By the end, you will have a deeper appreciation of the factors that contribute to the recognition and valuation of art, and a better grasp of how contemporary contexts and marketing strategies shape our definitions of artistic worth.
From the survey every participant gets when the session ends, in their own words.
Just enjoyed the subject and the refreshing style of Krzysztof.
Hoewel ik al veel kennis heb over kunstgeschiedenis en de waardebepaling van kunstwerken heb ik toch weer nieuwe dingen geleerd. Het interactieve aspect werkte super goed en zette aan tot kritisch denken, dank!
Ik kan persoonlijk niet zeggen dat ik iets heb geleerd….maar ik vond het heel boeiend. Deze lezing deed mij denken aan de lessen kunstgeschiedenis van vroeger, alhoewel, Banksy was toen nog niet actief 😄 Heel inspirerend. Ik word hier blij van. Dank.
Zeer boeiend college. Het zet aan tot nadenken.
It is interactive, and the block above says exactly how for this session. Nobody has to speak up who does not want to: the chat and the polls carry most of it, and the questions can come in anonymously.
Why is the painting of sunflowers by Van Gogh considered art, but an exact replica not? Why is no one surprised that a simple nylon thread or a urinal are exhibited and lauded at an art gallery and sometimes sold for hundreds of thousands or Euros? It is built for a general working audience: no prior knowledge is assumed, and people who already know the subject get the research and the practical side rather than an introduction.
Krzysztof Dobrowolski-Onclin is one of the experts we auditioned ourselves, and we produce every session so we see how each one lands. Participants rate this session 4.3 out of 5, across 62 responses, and rate Krzysztof personally 4.5 out of 5.
It runs 45 min / 15 min: the talk, then live questions. All you do is pick a date. We brief Krzysztof, produce the session, host and moderate it, run the Q&A, and send you the report within an hour of the end.
A team, a department, an employee network or every single employee at once, with no cap and no per-seat price. It runs inside your own Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, or on a branded page we build. No integration, no login, no company device or e-mail.
The session is delivered in English, Dutch. You can add high accuracy live subtitles in 8, 16 or 24 languages, so everyone follows in their own. That is a paid option, priced by the number of languages you need.
No, and that is by design. There is nothing to install, nothing to integrate and no connection to your systems, so there is nothing for IT to validate: we join your own Teams, Zoom or Meet as a guest speaker, or we host a page and your people open a link. No software, no accounts, and no data of yours that we can reach. It is why hundreds of companies, among them some of the largest technology and financial firms in the world, were able to start within a day.
We never receive or hold personal data about your employees. Because the session runs in your own environment, attendance and identity stay with you, and what we report back is aggregated: numbers, ratings and survey answers, not people. That is also why IT approval usually takes minutes rather than weeks.
You keep the recording and can share it internally. You also get attendance over time, participant ratings for the content and the speaker, the survey answers, and the topics your people asked for next.

In a few interactive, playful exercises Rod shows people how to switch from ‘Yes, but’ to ‘Yes, and’.
In this 60 minute interactive session, Rod makes the case that the success or failure of everything we do depends on only one…
Despite constant warnings, we are reluctant to change our ways when it comes to accumulating more and more things.
