the latter
all art is conceptually driven; conceptual art is not always art.
if they're good, thought or emotionally provoking concepts and they're [also] somewhat aesthetically pleasing, then hooray! go forth and be a conceptual artist! [call me when you make millions selling a toilet, okay?].
but there is a fine distinction. if you're doing something /anyone/ can do and anyone can do it rather non-impressively, then i call bullshit. if it's not pretty, not original, not functional, not interesting, not provocative, then it's not art or design.
[fuck yeah, installations!]
