Read my post #20. Also while I was attending Glassel two guys (I won't call them artist) took an old abandoned garage apart. They painted it bright red and while they were at it, they painted everything in it bright red.

Then they reassembled it on the 2nd floor of the art school and put every single piece of trash and tools back in exactly where it was originally.

It was a tremendous amount of work and for absolutely nothing!!!
Worthless!!

I certainly hope they never read this post.

It may “trigger” feelings of inadequacy and they will have to create a “safe space”. (Maybe a red garage?)

“An art gallery cleaning lady accidentally threw away expensive modern art because she confused it with trash. According to the BBC, on Wednesday a security guard at an Italian art gallery noticed that items from Sala Murat’s display were missing. The works were made of newspaper and cardboard, and pieces of cookies that were spread across the floor.

“Apparently an unnamed cleaner, from the firm Chiarissima, thought it was left over garbage and tossed it. The works are estimated to be worth $15,000.

“The city marketing commissioner told the BBC, “It’s clear the cleaning person did not realize she had thrown away two works and their value. But this is all about the artists who have been able to better interpret the meaning of contemporary art, which is to interact with the environment. In any case, the insurance will cover the damages caused.”

“This isn’t the first time that art has been confused with trash; back in 2001 an installation consisting of beer bottles, coffee cups, and overflowing ashtrays was thrown out by a cleaning crew.”

I know not to mess with the custodial staff on my job, but I had no idea they were such harsh art critics!
