May 4, 2008: Banana exhibit

IotD is late to this one which went off two months ago. Artist Stefan Sagmeister is responsible for this one, part of an exhibit at NYC's Deitch gallery entitled "Things I Have Learned In My Life So Far". In this exhibit Sagmeister reveals thoughtful mottos in interesting ways.

The interesting thing about this installation, which consists of 10,000 bananas and some glue, is that it changes over time.

And the message disappears...

...and the whole thing just gradually decays over the 24 days of the show.

The entire exhibit can be seen at Deitch's site - his the "view installation" button where you can look at the other messages and their interesting reveals. The bananas is the most interesting of them, I think. The reveal makes the message into a sort of slow-burn poetry.

One does hope banana bread was made.
