So can we really consider ourselves art when there were no paintbrushes, oil paints or easels involved? “You can become art just by being in a gallery because you’re making a proposal to the visitors of that gallery,” explains Hobson. “You’re interacting with and challenging the audience and you’re creating something. That makes you art.

“Next time you go to an art gallery, don’t ask for a programme which tells you how to think as you’ll be missing the point entirely. Instead look at it and ask yourself the following questions: what is it, what is it made of, what colours is it, what does it make me think, what does it make me feel? Whether you like the answers to those questions is how you decide if you like the piece. Don’t base it on what someone else tells you to feel.”

Working in the Saatchi pushed us out of our comfort zone. There is no doubt that your surroundings, what you wear and who you meet influence how you work. It also challenged the people who came to watch us. And that’s exactly the point of modern art – to challenge how you think and feel, and to inspire new thought processes and ideas. And while I’m still not convinced that flicking a light switch on and off is art, I really do believe that we were art. Albeit for one week only.

The Saatchi Gallery is one of the world’s most popular museums and has produced seven of the 10 most attended exhibitions in London over the last three years. The Saatchi Gallery is also in the top five most followed museums on facebook and twitter; saatchi-gallery.co.uk
