RE: Decrypting the art world (i)
I fondly remember there being a big huh-hah about some banksy painting that got sold for some unholy amount of cash years ago. Then a hidden document shredder jumped on and went to work. Priceless!
That was art.
Wow... I understand that it was Banksy himself who brought the crusher, right?😯😲😳🤯
I agree that art is invaluable. But his answer:
Was it a reaction? Was it premeditated? did you make a montage? An ephemeral art installation 😅? A spoiled artist tantrum?, a manifesto?
I don't remember the exact details. Supposedly Banksy wanted to the destroy the piece, but the shredder gave out and stopped half way through. So it was definitely planned in some way or form. Probably made the painting more valuable, too.
Another favorite of mine was when somebody duct-taped a banana to a museum wall, or whatever it was, and called it art. Expensive, too. Then someone ate the banana and put the peel up.
