The Walker Art Center in Columbus, Ohio, has a great collection of works and info for those who might be asking: SO, WHY IS THIS ART?Their resources include background on work by Gabriel Orozco and Adrian Piper, as well as this piece by Jana Sterbak, a dress made out of meat.

i found this site to be very interesting. to combine abstract art with non abstract art, and then ask why the whole group can be considered artwork is a bit of a peculiar gesture to me. it is a lot easier to appreciate some artwork with the little blurbs they have about the artist, and why the artwork was made.
Lucia Fontana, for example. it was a little hard to tell what the artwork was, but after reading about cutting the canvas, and introducing physical 3-D space into a 2-D image, it made a lot more sense.
Matt, do you mean that asking if it is art was strange, or the fact that they try to compare abstract and representational work? Is there a difference in how we can talk about them?
