He probably got a government art grant for this.

Great. Now bananas will never be served in aircraft and produce department will have alimit 4 bananas per person.
It’s like Jackass, except that Johnny Knoxville would have the banana shoved up someone’s ass.
Art = blowing shit up in your face.
Jackass = blowing shit up in your ass.
Actually, the grant ($14,750) was for the other variation on this idea: The exploding nuts.
This is just gay and a total waste of time. Some people just have absolutely no life at all.
Another fine example of Stimulus money at work!
It put a Banana farmer to work, a pyrotechnics company and a idiot to wear a banana mask and lite banana’s. They said the Stimulus was not producing jobs.
I like it when my banana explodes on someone else’s face.
It’s thanks to this kind of sh*t that art classes are being taken away from public schools.
#4 nolimit662,
The sad part is that I agree with you, one Big example of sh*t art aimed at rich, urban f*gs are the cremaster shorts done by Matthew Barney
#3 & #5, did this artist get a grant or is this just speculation? I’ve searched a bit and can’t find any mention of him (William Lamson) getting any Government $. I really don’t care about this “art” but I do find it interesting that all it takes is someone inferring something like “He probably got a government art grant for this” and everyone gets all pissed like it is a fact.
To my knowledge performance art has been pretty much ‘Bananas’ since the early ’70s although I don’t remember actual bananas appearing.
#9, I’ve enjoyed reading witty comments from the intelligent crowd gathered here. I’m not certain everyone assumes the grant was factual. However, there have been some artists who have received media attention for getting public money for dubious art projects.
Dickhead.
It’s as artistic as Jason Pollack throwing paint at the floor. A few odd ball critics rave, and a piece of canvas is worth millions.
