I've got it! To the installation, the artist should add a big cleaning person's trash can, on a platform with wheels, and lined with a blue trash bag. Maybe rubber gloves draped over the rim, that's a decision for the artist. Find some appropriate (but regrettably not exactly the same) newspapers and cookie crumbs and arrange them in the can. Change the text on the little cardboard placard to "Observed/Inexorable 4 (Cleaning Lady)." Arrange the bin items to just right-- and it is done!


Just watch it turn out that the accidental disposal of that part of the work was intentional and part of the work itself. Lol

Well, it did get a lot of extra publicity for the work. It would never have been on the front page of BBC International without that accidental disposal. Hmm.... Smile

Modern art is such a farce, along with the people who champion it while stroking their chins in quiet contemplation and saying words like "energy" and "organic".

The artist ought to leave art installation the way it is now. Now it's a living work of art, organically interacting with the dynamic, unpredictable, and sometimes harsh energies of human society.

Cleaner throws out 'rubbish' Sala Murat artwork

A cleaner has mistakenly thrown away contemporary artworks meant to be part of an exhibition in southern Italy.

Works made out of newspaper and cardboard, and cookie pieces scattered across the floor as part of Sala Murat's display were thrown out.

Lorenzo Roca, from cleaning firm Chiarissima, said the unnamed cleaner was "just doing her job".

He added his firm's insurance would cover the value of the art, estimated to be around 10,000 euros (£8,200).

According to local press, security noticed a number of items were missing when the venue, in the province of Bari, opened on Wednesday morning.

It later emerged the cleaner had handed them over to refuse collectors, thinking it was rubbish left behind by workers who set up the Mediating Landscape exhibition.

"We are obviously very sorry for what happened," city marketing commissioner Antonio Maria Vasile said.

"It's clear the cleaning person did not realise 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."

It is not the first time artwork has been accidentally thrown away by a cleaner.

In 2001, a Damien Hirst installation at London's Eyestorm Gallery consisting of a collection of beer bottles, coffee cups and overflowing ashtrays was cleared away.

Later, in 2004, a bag of paper and cardboard by German artist Gustav Metzger was also thrown out while on a display at Tate Britain.




People wonder how this bad art sustains itself so... .magically

Bring back DEEEEP Space!

Ewww.... You created a very realistic and nauseating mental image for me there. Smile
