10/5/2004: 30,000 bananas as art - Page 3

mmmBoy · 10-06-2004, 06:11 PM

No worries, I got busted for not proofing my post a few images ago.

Now that you know, go down and get yourself some free bananas!

this kind off art was already done a long time ago, people like my grandfather did it! But than it was with a big bag of bread and some birds!

Londoners would immediately realize it was art and not take a bunch. Only stupid, crass Americans would do something like that.

I was there, pratically everyone was trying to nick a bunch, they just sort of stopped trying to stop people by 3.

Has it turned into a slimy pile of bananaey goo yet? If so, has it gained sentience?

Should've known you were involved. Welcome back, Jag.

London commuters are more effective at removing within seconds anything of possible value pratically before it hits the ground, I doubt a single banana had time to go brown. I wasn't there for long, was going to the tate modern to see bags of trash as art rather than bananas.

Oh how I envy the culture available to Europeans.

Is that Tate exhibit the same one from which someone mistakenly pulled a bag of trash and was about to throw it away, thinking it was mere trash instead of high art? Saw something in "News of the Weird" about that.

In this case the bananas are still going to the people, so it isnt wasted! But over here they made some artwork with bacon wrapped around some colums at the entrance of the museum! After about 5 days it turned greenish...Really colorfull!

jaguar · 10-17-2004, 06:25 AM

Yea that is on installation they're got at the tate modern at the moment, the artist simply replaced it with another bag of trash, kind of says something. When you think about it though it's not exactly new, I forget the name of the artist who crapped in 60 tins and sealed them somewhere in the 70s as a comment on how stupid some high art was, they now sell for tens of thousands...

Of course don't confuse the tate modern and the tate britain, chalk and cheese.

This is one of the reasons I really don't like much "art".

wolf · 10-21-2004, 12:56 AM

I really think that if it's called an "installation" it shouldn't be considered "art."

I have a low tolerance for pretentious bullshit.
