An artwork called “Comedian”, part of an Italian artist’s exhibition, consisted of a ripe banana duct-taped to a wall at Seoul’s Leeum Musuem of Art. Art student Noh Huyn-soo detached the banana, peeled it and unashamedly ate it. He then placed the banana peel back on the wall using the duct tape. When the museum asked him to explain his actions, he replied that he was hungry as he missed breakfast. 🤣
Many years ago I read of a similar incident. An artist used ‘trash as a form of art’, but the exhibition ended up being thrown in the bin after the museum’s cleaners decided that it must be rubbish.
As so many things, art is in the eye of the beholder :-)
