Students left pineapple in exhibition and people mistook it for art
My article was about how a simple prank could turn into a big trend. The pineapple was supposed to be a joke but, instead of being confused. People started taking pictures of the fruit, calling it modern art. The culprits were Lloyd Jack and Ruairi Gray students at Robert Gordon University at Scotland. They had left the fruit outside the Look again exhibition many times hoping to trick people into thinking it was art. What remains a mystery to the workers though, is how they managed to move and open the glass case. It would take 2-3 people to complete the move because of it's weight.
A similar situation was recalled in San Francisco where 17 year-old TJ Khayatan wanted to test a theory. People will interpret anything in an art gallery setting . So he placed a pair of glasses inside the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco and walked away. He did this to help people understand that modern art may be a joke sometimes but, its how we express ourselves.
