Maybe there's something wrong with me, but I'm very much into conceptual art. I don't care if it's an invisible sculpture or a banana taped to a wall or, I don't know, a single tiny red dot placed somewhere on a white building.
I enjoy the thought process that goes into these things. I love the fact there was a person who thought people would enjoy the sight of a concrete ball in a glass bathtub or something, and they went and created it.
The enjoyment I get from, let's say, plain drawings of objects or vistas is very straightforward, it's already done. The enjoyment I get from conceptual art is somehow "procedural". It's a seed for my thoughts, it's a little blip of curiosity in world full of mundane objects.

That last part is key for me - that they actually made it. I personally would never bother with such "silly" ideas, but I nevertheless understand how much effort is involved in sourcing, manipulating, transporting, etc. physical things, and I have a certain amount of inspiration and respect for people who follow through with their ideas, however trite or uninspiring I might find them subjectively.
