    It sounds like a put-on

    Kind of like Frank Stella wandering through MoMA one day and commenting to the curator that they hung his paintings upside down. Seriously it sounds like someone who had an idea for an outline for an art project and was hyper and overbearing and frankly, unhinged enough to get it commissioned as a complete work. It's not exactly bullshit, but it's close.

    —Stephen Rifkin
