Sobeipan at the National Museum in Poland |
Why wait for the "art world" to discover you, go to it, but bring your own hammer and nail. Following in the footsteps of Banksy, a Polish art student by the name of Sobiepan took his artwork to the National Museum in Poland, found a blank spot on the wall, and hung his painting.
In 2005, Banksy "self-exhibited" his work in the Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Brooklyn Museum, and the American Museum of Natural History.
The fun with this style of performance art is seeing how long it takes the museum to recognize that there is something amiss.
