    This is terrible.

    Aluminium cans should have gone in the recycling! ♻️

    To be fair, I feel like that’s kind of what the artist was hoping for. Would you be reading about his piece if some Philistine with no concept of what constitutes art hadn’t thrown it away?

    Art exists solely as it is interpreted by the observer.

    In this case, the observer interrupted the art as trash.

      I believe this kind of art should embrace the impermanence. The concept is more valuable than the object.

    There was another story like this. The exhibit depicts an after party scene with champagne bottles and other party “trash” everywhere. It was placed in a room. The custodians thought there was a party earlier and promptly cleaned the room.

        i love museums and art centers.

        the great thing about art is everyone is free to define it how they want, and no one is wrong.

        “art” to you, “garbage” to me

    The idea that someone’d think someone’d littered like that in a museum tickles me a bit.
