Gargbage as Art
Here's a video from a television show in Australia called the Chaser's War on Everything. I started on YouTube looking at a song (Tom Waits - Hold On) that was recommended to me and an hour later I was still looking through videos!
There's plenty more clips of the Chaser's War on Everything on YouTube here. They hold nothing sacred and poke fun at anyone or anything, but they're no longer making the show. ¶ 12:03 AM

I am not sure why I got such a kick out of this, but it was funny.
The gallery employee that said " X didn't tell me about it, but it looks good!"(close anyway) made me laugh out loud.

The old mattress at the Musuem of Contemporary Art was funny too because it didn't look out of place next to the real art on show at the time.
As an artist it can sometimes be frustrating to see work in a gallery that you do believe is "garbage." These guys helped me lighten up a bit about it. Thanks for the laugh...
I was reprimanded at work for laughing too loud, but it was worth it. Hilarious!

Brilliant. You can tell that the gallery owner who threw away the vacuum takes art a little too seriously. I'm sure in the eighties he was all about Jeff Koons.
I did enjoy that, only just had a chance to look at it. I think they were very relaxed about the whole thing at the MCA.
I can imagine that if someone left an unattended large object like that in a central London gallery they'd probably get the bomb squad in to blow it up.
Although Banksy left a dead rat in the Natural History Museum in 2004:
