    This was awesome.

    The whole “banana duct taped to the wall” thing is currently making twitter aflutter. I’ve seen some people complain that it’s B.S. and some people complain that it’s a stunt and *I* think that the $120,000 price tag demonstrates that it’s a way to launder money in plain sight. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone celebrate it.

    The whales? Now that’s art.Report

    Thanks everybody. Like I said, she tells the story way better, because it’s her stort. I believe they’re pushing her to publish the memoir, but I know she’s set against continuing in academia. So I’ll let you know if anything happens. And she might be on to the next project before long. I would not be too surprised.Report
