For me, anything that has had a significant amount of work into it is a piece of art. Grabbing 3 buckets of paint and throwing them randomly on a canvas might give a cool result but it's not art IMO.

Some people are so full of themselves that they call any random idea they produce art. Frame a turd, put it on the wall, you'll just have a turd on the wall, not a piece of art. It seems to be a trend lately though, all these self proclaimed 'abstract artists' who even get paid to come up with idiotic ideas. I remember a certain gallery that had a toilet on display, was supposed to be art according to the artist (read: dude who bought toilet at store).
Some people appreciate the wild paradigm breaking and the pure balls required to do that. To them it's the thought process that is art, the signed urinal is simply the evidence of that. To others its the naked aspect of humanity on display without shame or dressing up.
