Serious Answer: The Institutional Theory of art is absolute cobblers. Theories about "what is art" tend to imply that art is somehow intrinsically good, or "high", compared to lower things which are materially identical - this was the point of Warhol's Brillo boxes. Art doesn't have to be good. It can be utter shit. And anything and everything is art that a human hand has had its way with, in my view.

Less Serious Answer: Quiet, you. Stop trying to rile people.

idiots will congregate towards and go 'ooh'

NOTE : That definition doesn't distinguish between good art and bad art.

NOTE 2 : Now can't you PLEASE go find a nice secluded spot and wank yourself into a coma or something?

Duchamp explores this idea with his piece called 'The FOuntain'
which was pretty much a urinal, but he took it out of a toilet and put it into a Gallery which then made it into art - obviously he was making fun of the whole idea that just because it's in a gallery it doesn'y mean it's art.

more about what's good art and not.

Is a gallery. All the bits of steak in the pie are the art. The pastry is the curator.

The end result is the shit...and that is the true art.
