Oh gosh,
take a look! 
Seriously, the absence of something is indeed a statement, and in these cases the statement is contextual. My Dr. Pepper cans was a statement, it even had some craft (they were neatly stacked with logo's aligned much better than the typical post-race NASCAR driver interview)! But the very fact that it was both an accurate example of such "pointless" and "frivolous" art work both made the statement that it's worthless while being what it was saying was worthless, to the point that those who valued such stuff would praise it!
You got it if you knew the title, so:

Literature is art! Why draw artificial distinctions between "kinds" of art? Is music not art because it's really poetry? Is HipHop not music because the words are not sung?
Why do any of these distinctions matter?

Oh that's simply my latest work of art, entitled "Buffy's Brain-Finger Communication Breakdown At 1AM"....
