Durisg the study the primary school age kids were asked to rate the masterpieces of modern art and to answer two simple questions: "This is art or not?" and "What's the price of this picture?"
Among the works of art evaluated by the children there were "Black Square" by Malevich, "Fountain" by Duchamp, a shark by Damien Hirst and other works of art, causing considerable controversy in the community. The survey gave birth to the following video - the first of a series of TV spots, whose main task is to focus on controversial issues of contemporary art.
