EXCURSION 2 / BOTANICAL PHOTOGRAPHY+SCALE IN PHOTOGRAPHY+DIGITAL COLLAGE Museum intervention https://banksyexplained.com/banksy-museum-pranks-2003-2005/ “This finely preserved example of primitive art dates from the PostCatatonic era and is thought to depict early man venturing towards the out-of-town hunting grounds. The artist responsible is known to have created a substantial body of work across the South East of England under the moniker Banksymus Maximus but little else is known about him. Most art of this type has unfortunately not survived. The majority is destroyed by zealous municipal officials who fail to recognize the artistic merit and historical value of daubing on walls.” Economy of taste ‒ who decides? In the contemporary art world, forces of ̈tastëare very different from 300, 100 or even 50 years ago. It used to be the national museums and galleries. Now it is collectors with money. Who should decide? This question is open. We live in a society where individuals voice their opinion and it is difficult to get a consensus. I propose to embody this discussion through an intervention in a museum ‒ with your own object of art or design.
