AWKWARD ZOMBIE

a few months ago, i went to Woodstock in the winter to an art show/audition in the town center. There were some actual good paintings there, but one caught my eye. It was a banana. That was it...it was attached to the white canvas via metal wire. It was selling for fifty bucks...a plain, regular banana...on white canvas...
so next time you go to the grocery store, thank the manager for selling a bunch of bananas for less then five bucks...

That's nothing.

Two years ago (man, time flies by) we were on an excursion with school, a few friends mine slept in a little house with a nice little garden (and a shack full of spiders that we decimated with the help of fire and deo spray) almost a mile away from the hostel where I, most of the others and the teachers slept, needless to say, it was made for partying (our teachers told us beforehand that they wouldn't mind us getting drunk as long as we didn't overdo it). Getting to the point, one evening when everyone was baked as fuck we made a hilarious discovery - someone had hung a completely white painting on a white wall! We burst into laugher just as a girl from our class arrived, almost crying because of some bullshit I already forgot, I don't even wanna begin to think about how she must've felt when she saw us calling everyone inside to laugh at the white painting. Retrospectively it was just an empty canvas and not that funny, still - good times.

TL;DR: Drugs are bad, mkay, just like video games.

It gets worse: white canvases are apparently worth $2.7 million!

I saw one in the Oklahoma City Museum of Art that was just shredded black and white paper glued to a canvas.
