    Those artists at least had a recognizable and identifiable style. It was easy to mimic yes, but they became icons for the identifiable style. If Altman snuck this in to the museum I’d give him some credit for it I suppose, but the style already exists and isn’t novel or identiable to a particular artist. Other people have snuck crap into museums too. There’s no novelty or creativity or unique iconic style here. It’s just sludge.

          Yeah, it’s called performance art. You’re not wrong in disliking it as slop, but the barrier for what is art is empirically low.

            Last time I did it the cops didn’t take that excuse. You’d think doing it near a school would make it obvious it was an artistic performance too.
