Then it's not art either, that's being philosophical. And yes, the two can go hand in hand. The artist can put that turd on the wall and have spend 10 weeks coming up with a brilliant philosophy for the turd and associate the two together. But in the end, while the philosophy might be great and mind shattering, the item he associates with that philosophy is not, and never will be, art.
And come on, how many pieces of philosophical artwork are out there which actually make sense to anyone but the artist? "Yes, yes of course a turd stands for the poverty of third world nations and how the world is a shitty place in all it's grandness. Marvelous! Splendid I say! Splendid!"
