@Alice I adore your whimsy. It makes me smile every time. Thank you for brightening my timeline.

And your photo composition is quite good, nice work.

@Alice and all of these things are art in how they reflect, expose, and make a statement about the whole culture and environment that created them and placed them there. Maybe they are missing something. Maybe we all are.

@Alice

I heard about someone who set up a laser across the street to project a red dot through a window onto the wall of an art gallery. Then they went inside and put their own information plaque next to the dot, making it an art piece.

@Alice This is art!

@Alice You thought step stool, I thought hand truck until I noticed the wheels and bottom plate are missing. Either way, it's a controversial sculpture.

@Alice "this piece is symbolic of man's need to escape homogeny, to be reborn through the fires of hell..."

"...sir, that's a fire alarm."

"IT'S INTERPRETIVE!!!!"

@Alice The art museum version of starring at something imaginary in the sky while making expressions... just so people look for it.

@Alice Dada 101

@Alice this is art.

@Alice Next level "stop and smell the flowers" 💐 ❤️

@Alice

If art is made by talking about it, then you're an artist. If nobody talked about the Mona Lisa, the Louvre would be using it as a draught excluder, probably to plug that hole where thieves got in to steal the bling. It's all in the definition.

@Alice For decades I’ve wanted to make a gallery exhibition of different fire extinguishers.

A fire should of course break out there too, as part of the show.

@Alice A friend and I did this at the museum in Oakland back in the late 60’s. We were admiring a coiled up fire hose in a red cabinet on the wall in the art section. People gathered behind us. I started thinking about making one of those little cards they put next to the art piece describing it, and sticking it on the wall there. But I was young and easily distracted, so I didn’t do it. Maybe that cabinet is still there…
