I wonder if someone would try to bring another slightly scrunched up beer can into the museum and try to add it to the “artwork”

For me it was last years’ (?) case of the banana that was gaffer taped to the wall of a gallery (in Florida, maybe?) that some patron ate because he was hungry. I thought that was brillant! :joy:
I’m still chuckling over it.

Which then poses the question if the patron himself became an artwork
now that he contains a work of art.

Some modeler should submit a collection to parts trees glued together and rattle can/bug bombed various shades of ugly from several built kits as “modern art”.

Scrap metal art
These artists have at least put in some kind of effort beyond crumpling a can or two and calling it art.

Not so much Art imitating life as life ingesting Art, perhaps?

The guy who put those cans in the trash made the right call. That is not art. It is dumb, and all the people responsible for putting it on display should be fired and never allowed to work in an artistic capacity ever again.

You can sum up modern art like that simply as garbage … (or put a few more words in front of garbage for dramatic effect (one rhymes with ducking !!))

Sadly idiots pander to it with things like, “oh its such great artistic vision”, " you can feel the movement and thought thats gone into it" “its such a creative story” blah blah blah … no, its just simply rubbish.
