First impressions is usually correct

Literally anyone can make this, why does something so reproducable and familiar count as art?

[Migraine]

Well, at least I’ll bet the beer was awesome...

Call me crazy...

But when “art” is “disguised” as trash. And is easily mistaken for trash. And then thrown away by janitors.

You’re doing it wrong.

All The Good Times We Spent Together by French artist Alexandre Lavet shows two dented beer cans on the floor. They were exhibited inside the museum’s lift as if left behind by construction workers.

Sounds like the kind of thing I could do, and if I could do it, it ain’t art.

[catnipman]

just goes to show you that one man’s trash is another man’s trash ...

[catnipman]

they’d be better off if the lift technicians were the museum art curators ...

Ah yes, the banana duct-taped to the wall trick......and then somebody took the banana down and ate it. Art critic or thief?

[mairdie]

Over ripe. YUCK! to both the art and the eating.

The caption is cute. Remember, if you can, all the times you sat with a bud drinking a can together. There is meaning in that.

Much more than some can of tomato soup.

A blank canvas on a wall isn’t art- it’s what you call it that makes it art.

[telescope115]

I would’ve been tempted to SMASH it against the wall- name that!

Nope. It's what "art experts" call it that makes it art.

[Fresh Wind]

LOL!
