Installation Art

[nfotxn]

Banksy hits NYC's four biggest museums and installs his work himself:

"This historic occasion has less to do with finally being embraced by the fine art establishment and is more about the judicious use of a fake beard and some high strength glue." Banksy continues -"They're good enough to be in there, so I don't see why I should wait"

This sort of art pranksterism is nothing new. But I think it's fun and exciting.

Two of the four installed pieces remain in their original position.

Saying Banksy is so 2001 is so May 2002.

true, but I did include a caveat in the form of "but that made me titter" - thus exemplifying my capacity for reappraising things from years past.

Never hear dof him. This is new to me. I hate "art" (read: dollar signs). I love this.
