The Intersection of Law and Art as Artistic Expression

Take a series of legal documents, and bundle them together as a disclosure in public of secrets about yourself. Is it art?

(I seem to be asking if a lot of things are art lately, which may be a good theme for this fairly young blog.)

There's a discussion at Metafilter (though a short one at this point), about an article at WWW.Legal.com title Law As Art? which looks at "the law as an intrinsic element of the work itself."

It's a topic to consider, though I find myself more interested in art where elements of other works are snot-too-subtlely incorporated into the new piece, often referred to as Appropriation.
