The fact that a banana taped to a wall is considered art, but that isn't tells you everything you need to know about the so-called "art" industry.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God

Someone ate the banana taped to the wall.
The work, by Maurizio Cattelan, was ripe for the picking -- and on Saturday, it was unceremoniously taken off the wall at the Art Basel Miami Beach and eaten by a performance artist, amid a crowd of stunned onlookers, some of whom posted videos of the incident.
"I really love this installation. It's very delicious," David Datuna wrote on Instagram, alongside a video showing the aftermath of his stunt.

Some people are genuinely creative and enormously talented but their minds just don't work at all like the rest of us.
Many times is it impossible to tell the difference between the two.My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

Man is arrested after scrawling 'Epstein didn't kill himself' in red lipstick on empty wall where $120,000 duct-taped banana exhibit was displayed at Miami's Art Basel
A man has been arrested after scrawling a message about Jeffrey Epstein on awall at Miami's Art Basel - in the same spot where a $120,000 duct-taped banana exhibit was displayed.
Roderick Webber, 46, from Massachusetts, was swiftly taken away by police after writing in red lipstick: 'Epstien (sic) didn't kill himself.'
...
Webber shouted as he was escorted out of the Miami Beach convention center: 'If someone can eat the $120,000 banana and not get arrested, why can't I write on the wall?
'This is the gallery where anyone can do art, right?'

I have a question.
Does the wall the former banana was duct taped to come with the former banana and the duct tape? Assuming another banana gets taped to the wall for delivery to the brilliant person who spent 120 grand?
It seems to me that the wall is a major component of this spectacular art.
Securely anchored to the Rock amid every storm of trial, testing or tribulation.

120 grand buys a lot of bananas and duct tape, but what if you don't have a wall to utilize?

Is he saying that you don't have to be a legitimate artist to exhibit in the gallery, or was there an open invitation for anybody to post their work?Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God
