Personally, I do not care whether this gallery or something else is "Art" or not.  Nor do I care what others call "Art".  All I know is what I like and dislike.  If there is something I totally enjoy seeing so much (and it does not cost me an arm and a leg), then I may purchase it for my own enjoyment.  Otherwise I just look or not look, depending on the situation.

I will leave the definition of "Art" to the politicians and those that have a need to classify such things.   

I think it is not

I disagree with all of the above. I think the only question is whether the intention of the creator was to create a piece of art. I think anything that attempts to be art is, by definition, art. A harder question which immediately follows from this definition is weather the result is a successful piece or whether it fails in a certain respect.

Asking 'is this art' is a bit like asking 'is this true' or 'is this language'.

As I like to say, "you can say what you like, but I know about art".
