Someone Put Glasses On Museum Floor And Visitors Thought It Was Art
196Kviews
Some teens from San Francisco caused quite a spectacle (sorry) when they placed a pair of glasses on the floor of an art museum recently. Unsure what to make of it, bemused visitors did the only thing they could think of – they thought it was a piece of art and starting taking photographs of them.
The pranksters – Twitter users @TJCruda and @k_vinnn – decided to pull the stunt after being left unimpressed by the art on offer at San Francisco’s Museum of Modern Art. And within minutes of placing the glasses on the floor, a crowd of onlookers had gathered to ponder the metaphysical meaning of this piece of modern “art”. One of the teens, 17-year-old T.J. Khayatan, documented the public’s response and later uploaded pictures of the hilarious experiment to Twitter. Needless to say, they soon went viral and have since been shared over 40,000 times.
It might not have been art, but the prank was still priceless.

It's by-far the best job I've had. Last Wednesday I got a brand new BMW since getting a check for $5474 this - 4 >>>>>>>>>>>>> www.realcash44.ℭom
it simply shows that "art" is overrated...
i think it just shows that art space is sacred space, and that people respond to whatever you throw at them in the space, positively or negatively. so that's kinda exciting if you're trying to get people to connect or think about something.
Are you an artist that spends 6 hours on one piece? Most likely not if you are to say art is overrated. Art is one of the most prized human traits that is special to us. It's shows expression and individualism. The correct sentence would be "It simply shows that 'modern art' is overrated. Congratulations for insulting every single artist on this site that pours their heart and soul into what they love.

6 hours! oh wow! On one piece!
sneakcollector I couldn't agree more and "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND" are the words of the most ignorant part of todays' so called art community.
Sorry how so? Because 3 people glanced at a pair of glasses on the floor? It's not like the curator sold them
