It’s called “Comedian” cuz the joke is on us.

Everyone's talking about the banana, but what about the duct tape? It's holding the entire piece together. #teamtape

Them: He chose banana because history and symbolism Artist: I had a banana in my apartment

"He'd have to eat the certificate of authenticity, which is actually a performance I'd like to see" this made me laugh so hard, and I'm not sure why.

"You're not paying $150k just for a banana duct taped to a wall, you're paying $150k for a CERTIFIED banana duct taped to a wall." Huh, kinda reminds me of my college degree.

I still remember when money laundering was difficult.

Long story short: it's a shitpost

I was at the art festival and I was lucky enough to see the man actually eat the banana

Art is memes and has been for a while, and I'm glad to see that noticed.

This was like that meme: Teacher: the curtains are red to reflect his anger and rage Writer: no, it’s just a red curtain bc I wanted to

"the art we deserve" - fair

This piece insults the human race in the most brilliant way.
-
I have a theory that this "artist" stole this taped banana idea from a person in the 3rd world who taped fruits like an apple on a laptop to joke about having an "Apple" computer.
-
"It might not be the art we want, but I fear that it might be the art we deserve." At first, I thought this was going to be a video in defense of it, and I was ready to get heated. But I really appreciate the well thought out discourse about it.
