What does NONART mean in Scrabble?
noun
formal
Something that is not art, or that deliberately rejects the usual forms and methods of art.
Critics reach for nonart when a work sets out to refuse the conventions that normally mark something as art, such as the readymade objects and found materials favoured by some twentieth-century movements. The word can describe an object that never aimed to be art at all, like an ordinary tool, or a deliberate gesture that mocks the idea of art from within an exhibition. Calling something nonart is usually a judgement about its relationship to artistic tradition rather than a comment on its quality. The term sits close to related debates about what separates craft, design and art from one another.
