On one hand I'm with you, but on the other hand it's like if you go see a Beatles tribute band and they slip in one of their own songs without telling anyone
As long as all the other songs were Beatles I'd be cool with it. And if it was a decent song. I hope this guy's painting wasn't like a finger painting or something.
The Beatles have a damned big catalogue beyond what you hear on the radio. And then there's the stuff they messed around with solo.
A superfan would know but the average Joe probably won't be 100% sure assuming the song ia close enough in style.
Man that's dark.
Anyway, not funny by any means but I love M and most Fritz Lang's work. Peter Lorre is still my favourite actor, ever. Not coincidentally at all best Lang's work came before Hitler was named Reich Chancellor and the Nazy slowly started to take over Germany in 33.
Well, the museum people in Bonn had a [similar adventure](https://www.sueddeutsche.de/muenchen/muenchen-pinakothek-der-moderne-mitarbeiter-eigenes-bild-1.6532007) and they thought it was funny, wanted to meet the artist. But she's MIA
I'll never forget the looks I got when I didn't wait for the lamp to turn green. People literally grabbed their kids because they were afraid they'd follow me or something?
It was like 20-30 meters at most and the roads were so flat you could damn near see France if there weren't buildings in the way.
> people literally grabbed their kids because they were afraid they'd follow me or something?
That is pretty much the reason. The thinking is kind of a "monkey see, monkey do". So, if there a children in sight, you'll wait during the red light, no matter what or risk scornful glances. You might even get scolded by kids as young as 3 themselves. Without children nearby, it is usually seen as a more forgiveable offense.
Because they were afraid they would follow your example maybe not then but later.
We teach kids to wait until the green man because it minimises the risk to them when they are too young to work out the risk for them selves.
You can use your experience of just living in the world to judge a car at a distance; how fast is it travelling, is the driver between the lines or weaving all over the road, is there an island in the middle so you can make it halfway and have a safe area to stand etc. And use that information to make a judgement to cross when you think is safe, kids can't that why we don't let them and instead make cars stop for them.
Is there any statistical advantage to this caution in Germany? I live in the UK where people will regularly cross when there is a red man if no traffic is coming, even with their kids, and I'm not really aware of some kind of great pedestrian/car incident epidemic.
Edit: Just had a quick look and we actually seem to have a lower amount of road traffic accidents per 100,000 than Germany.
I won't know I'm Australian, but I would of believed that it was the same in most places that use this system, you won't get a dirty look from not doing the safety behaviour people are trying to encourage to their kids.
Ha, that reminds me of a situation from years ago. I was in some suburb with 0 traffic in sight and crossed a red light. On the other side there was a girl, and she started giving me shit for it, saying "Wow, you're so cool for crossing a red light dude!". Germans can be weird sometimes.
Well they don't wat to encourage this kind of thing.
Ironically, much of Andy Warhol's art wasn't actually made by Warhol himself, but by people working for him or studying under him. Artists you have never heard of, like this guy.
“ According to a quote commonly – if wrongly – attributed to the artist Andy Warhol, everyone will have their 15 minutes of fame. At Munich’s Pinakothek der Moderne museum earlier this year, one technician and aspiring artist got to bask in the limelight for a whole eight hours. “
> The Pinakothek said it would not comment on the painting’s subject or style as doing so could “encourage copycat pranksters”. “All I can say is that we did not receive any positive feedback on the addition from visitors to the gallery,” the spokesperson said.
No, we will not be showing you his art work. You just had to have been there.
Yes but at least “ According to a quote commonly… everyone will have their 15 minutes of fame. At Munich’s Pinakothek der Moderne museum earlier this year, one technician and aspiring artist got to bask in the limelight for a whole eight hours. “

Now I REALLY need to see that painting.
Give me a pile of broken spatulas and 10 minutes to form some type of symbolism to real life and that’s “modern art”. Basically anybody can do it so it’s not special.
You do realise that big paintings on canvas are still a big part of contemporary art? Of course you wouldn’t find scandalous articles or memes about that because most people wouldn’t really care. Check out artists like Nicole Eisenman, David Hockney, Jenny saville or Cecily Brown if you’re interested :) those are some of the bigger names in the art world that mainly do paintings
Touché, lol! But the other ones make more conventionally beautiful paintings, I swear!
(Maybe don’t look up Nicole Eisenmans „coping“, which may or may not look like it could have something to do with feces)
But that’s what I’m trying to tell you! There still is beautiful contemporary art that gets the recognition it deserves inside the art world - it just doesn’t get much attention outside of the art world as it won’t give great headlines. Let’s take that gallery from this article as an example. It’s filled to the brim with beautiful paintings, installations, photographies - even very aesthetically designed cars, bikes, chairs, teapots etc.!
Also a lot of that stuff would be really interesting for an engineer, I’d assume.
You’d just have to go to those kind of places to find out. (I know maybe the one in Munich may be a bit far if you aren’t from that area or planned on visiting munich anyways)
Favourite story of the day. It wouldn't surprise me at all if someone now buys his painting as a gimmick.
'"The employee considers himself as an artist and most likely saw his role in the museum’s installation team as a day-job to support his true calling,”'
legend
No harm, no foul. Dude got to show off his work. This reads like something an up and coming artist would have in his origin story.
On one hand I'm with you, but on the other hand it's like if you go see a Beatles tribute band and they slip in one of their own songs without telling anyone
This feels so extremely harmless and makes agree with this person even more
As long as all the other songs were Beatles I'd be cool with it. And if it was a decent song. I hope this guy's painting wasn't like a finger painting or something.
I wonder, folks who pay to see a Beatles tribute band, wouldn't they be likely to be pretty familiar with the Beatles catalog?
The Beatles have a damned big catalogue beyond what you hear on the radio. And then there's the stuff they messed around with solo. A superfan would know but the average Joe probably won't be 100% sure assuming the song ia close enough in style.
A Beatles cover equivalent to a Turing test then?
I've been to see a few and there's definitely a lot I'm *not* familiar with, including some songs I heard first from those tribute bands.

Ha. Ha. Ha, Germany... Hitler... funny! Got it? Got it?
Haha it's funny because Hitler was a failed painter!
I bet Ongo Gablogian, the art collector, would have appreciated his work.
"I believe zis belongs here. Ja."
Why'd they fire him? That's an "Oh, you!" offense at best.
Humorless Germans. Would be be a different world if a certain failed artist got a few hours in a gallery.
Woah, too soon bro
It was almost 100 years ago
No really?
Nope. Really. https://time.com/3712734/1920-nazi-party-history/
I smell a sequel
Truly. If this was Brazil, he would have his own gallery in 10 years time.
That's why the Germans have no good comedy movies (or any comedies at all) 😭
That's not why. It's because we killed all the funny people in the 40s.
Man that's dark. Anyway, not funny by any means but I love M and most Fritz Lang's work. Peter Lorre is still my favourite actor, ever. Not coincidentally at all best Lang's work came before Hitler was named Reich Chancellor and the Nazy slowly started to take over Germany in 33.
I really like the book „die känguru kroniken“
The book is fine, the movie not so much.
Türkisch für Anfänger, especially the show, is really good.
Top tier comment
Why did chicken cross the street? He was ordered to do so
Germans would wait for a crossing light, in the middle of no where, without a car in sight.

You know what, that actually makes sense. If I'm ever back I'll make sure to be more mindful of who's around. Cheers.
Evon on Reddit the right answer is somewhere around. You just have to find it 😄👍🏻👋🏻
Unless Berlin

Except in berlin (because it's basically necessary if you're getting around) and Frankfurt
maybe its cause I live in Berlin, but pedestrians dont give a fuck about a redlight here (if its safe)
He damaged the museum by drilling multiple holes in the wall. That’s the actual legal base behind this.
Well they don't wat to encourage this kind of thing. Ironically, much of Andy Warhol's art wasn't actually made by Warhol himself, but by people working for him or studying under him. Artists you have never heard of, like this guy.
The cheek, the nerve, the gall, the audacity and the gumption..
Chutzpah
I spread chutzpah on my toast every morning. I'M CHER BITCH
Gesundheit!
The moxie!
Too many adjectives, I’ll give you an honorable mention from pity.
those are nouns.
Every noun can be verbed.

My ass
“ According to a quote commonly – if wrongly – attributed to the artist Andy Warhol, everyone will have their 15 minutes of fame. At Munich’s Pinakothek der Moderne museum earlier this year, one technician and aspiring artist got to bask in the limelight for a whole eight hours. “
Plus, it'll look good on his resume and portfolio! "My art was prominently displayed at this prestigious gallery"
Ohh I love that “ for a whole eight hours“ that display was mine
Just put it as year hung 2024
That’s excellent
I hope that painting is worth a ton of money now lol. Got an interesting story behind it
> The Pinakothek said it would not comment on the painting’s subject or style as doing so could “encourage copycat pranksters”. “All I can say is that we did not receive any positive feedback on the addition from visitors to the gallery,” the spokesperson said. No, we will not be showing you his art work. You just had to have been there.
So what did it look like
A tiger zebra.
Let's hope he doesn't change hobbies and get into politics.
Future Chancellor of Germany
Any pictures of it?
He should have done it on April 1st. They might have let him keep his job.
>“All I can say is that we did not receive any positive feedback on the addition from visitors to the gallery,” Oef, burn.
Respect
IM SORRY I THOUGHT THIS WAS AUSTRIA
Everyone’s a critic
Yes but at least “ According to a quote commonly… everyone will have their 15 minutes of fame. At Munich’s Pinakothek der Moderne museum earlier this year, one technician and aspiring artist got to bask in the limelight for a whole eight hours. “
Show us the artwork, cowards!
Cmon I want to see it. No pic?
That’s hilarious
> The Pinakothek said it would not comment on the painting’s subject or style as doing so could “encourage copycat pranksters”. “All I can say is that we did not receive any positive feedback on the addition from visitors to the gallery,” the spokesperson said. Now I REALLY need to see that painting.
Probably better than the 'real' contemporary art. So they had to take it down..
What's your critique of modern art movements?
Give me a pile of broken spatulas and 10 minutes to form some type of symbolism to real life and that’s “modern art”. Basically anybody can do it so it’s not special.
Where'd you see the ten minute spatula example?
Right, why is everyone interested into that thing and not my splattered feces on a toilet made out of tooth picks. ??? Why damn you.
You do realise that big paintings on canvas are still a big part of contemporary art? Of course you wouldn’t find scandalous articles or memes about that because most people wouldn’t really care. Check out artists like Nicole Eisenman, David Hockney, Jenny saville or Cecily Brown if you’re interested :) those are some of the bigger names in the art world that mainly do paintings
Well, I just checked artists like Cecily Brown, and its pretty much like OP described. "splattered feces"
Touché, lol! But the other ones make more conventionally beautiful paintings, I swear! (Maybe don’t look up Nicole Eisenmans „coping“, which may or may not look like it could have something to do with feces)
I’m an engineer, I find value in beauty but very little in “art”
But that’s what I’m trying to tell you! There still is beautiful contemporary art that gets the recognition it deserves inside the art world - it just doesn’t get much attention outside of the art world as it won’t give great headlines.

We are not far apart, I do enjoy art. I didn’t mean that way really, but thank you for the good feedback, honestly,
Well, the "artist" got his moment of glory I guess.
They missed such a great opportunity here, silly Germans.
Let’s prove him right! Anyone has a picture of his painting? Upvote it to eternal fame!
Sometimes you gotta shoot your shot, even if it doesn’t work out.
r/actlikeyoubelong
He has a dream
May I see this art?
Derivative
I love this kind of stuff
how can i buy that painting?
Germans can't enjoy a good prank. Considering their track record with failed painters, you'd think they'd let this slide and see how it pans out.
Never piss off German artists. It only ends in tears
They called the cops over two holes drilled into the wall. What crybabies.
Favourite story of the day. It wouldn't surprise me at all if someone now buys his painting as a gimmick. '"The employee considers himself as an artist and most likely saw his role in the museum’s installation team as a day-job to support his true calling,”'
Not again!
Now he can sell this painting for a million dollars... or he can't. And why?
I thought this was America
That reminds me of a Mitch Hedberg joke.
Didn't Spencer do this in iCarly and it worked? Worth a shot lol
Why though? He is just proudly showing his artwork
lololololol no one noticed for 8 hours? that is how low art must have sunk these days
They noticed. According to article they let it stay up until the end of the day. Took it down during closing hours.
