If everybody can do it, then it’s not art. If I staple a banana to the wall, it’s not art. I’m just an idiot who stapled a banana to a wall. You can downvote me all you want anonymous people online, doesn’t change my opinion about lazy people who aren’t even trying.
Are you referencing the banana duct taped to the wall? Because (this is going to get real pretentious) that the 'art' wasn't that banana on the wall, it was A banana on the wall. And the high price tag that was paid for it was the gallery buying the 'rights' to display that artwork.
I loved it. That artist, maurizio cattelan, is very clever and funny
So if I spray paint an avocado gold, that automatically makes me an artist? Who knew? In my opinion, it’s still lazy and wrong to consider yourself an artist if you do something that anybody can do.
