MSCHF

call them “mischief”—

significa   travessura

e roubaram coisas num museu... mas meteram outras em troca... digamos que estes MSCHF têm a solução contra aqueles ativistas cobardes que atacam quadros... é q assim ficam estes nas notícias e são mais divertidos e provam as necessidades de os museus melhorarem a sua segurança anti roubo e anti ativistas mariquinhas

é ao contrário 

foi alguém que em vez de roubar colocou uma OBRA SUA NO MUSEU

genial certo e evita os palermas dos curadores que só escolhem os amigos

The anonymous man, aged 51,

oohh He has been fired and is banned from ever returning to the museum.

Yet he’s one of several artists to covertly install their own work in a museum, although others have perhaps found better luck with their curatorial interventions.

Just a few hours later, the curators spotted this mysterious addition to their permanent collection and took it down.

Yet, a sly student in the Germany city of Bonn did secure a bit of a breakthrough when she snuck her painting into the Bundeskunsthalle last year, sticking it to the wall with double-sided tape.

The artist, Danai Emmanouilidis, eventually came forward and her painting was later sold for €3,696 ($4,000) at Van Ham auction house in Cologne on November 30. The proceeds went to art charity ArtAsyl.

One of the best-known artists in the world, Banksy, has also leveraged guerrilla displays to great effect. In 2003, the graffiti artist entered Tate Britain disguised as a pensioner and stuck one of his own paintings to a gallery wall.

“To actually go through the process of having a painting selected must be quite boring,” Banksy said in a statement to the Guardian. “It’s a lot more fun to go and put your own one up. It’s all about cutting out the middle man, or the curator in the case of the Tate.”

But perhaps of all the artists to attempt a covert no one was more persistent than the Israeli artist Eliezer Sonnenschein, who spent much of the 1990s sneaking his work into the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, replacing his renegade pieces each time they were removed by museum staff.

Luckily for the artist, hanging your own art inside a museum is not a crime in Germany. After he was fired for hanging his work, however, he was eventually charged with damage to property for drilling two holes into the wall, a relatively minor offense.

A SHORT HISTORY OF ARTISTS SNEAKING THEIR WORK INTO MUSEUMS

Another aspiring artist hung her own painting at a museum show in the city of Bonn, later selling the work at auction.
