Go hang yourself
March 24, 2005
A prankster artist has been hanging his own work in many of New York's museums. Now he's famous. Maybe it's something we should all try. For more details on how and why, check out

I wonder if the fact that galleries are now hanging his work wouldn't take away from the thrill. It seems to me that this chap is part performance artist and the act of successfully getting hung despite the gallery's security is part of his art, as much as the paintings themselves.

Nice bit of art news to read about. I wonder if he could get away with that in Washington DC?
Sure says something about the security of our art treasures and the safety of people who visit them.
