I think trying to define art is like trying to define what makes objects of art appealling to people. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle maintenance talks about this subject fairly in depth, so I would recommend that you check that out Cellophanediety. I don't think Art is defineable in a way that would allow for an exception to break the rule of the definition of Art. Art is an existing idea, but not one that can be defined or limited by rules of aesthetics.
I like ideas that can never be defined! They are almost non-sensical or irrational!
