Solar presumably sees consuming the banana as radical, however others would possibly argue that the true radical — even revolutionary — act can be losing a 49-cent banana for which you overpaid by greater than $6 million. Both approach, consuming the banana doesn’t make the artwork go away. Simply ask Piero Manzoni. It merely turns into a pile of shit.

In his 1933 essay “The Psychological Structure of Fascism,” Georges Bataille posited heterogeneous social existence as regarding “elements which are impossible to assimilate,” that’s, that which exists for itself and should be expelled from the State to ensure that it to operate as a homogenous sphere. In accordance with Bataille, “the heterogeneous world includes everything resulting from unproductive expenditure,” amongst this “the waste products of the human body,” but the sacred should be categorized as heterogeneous alongside human waste as a result of figures corresponding to “kings or witch doctors” are by definition set off from the social sphere. This creates a correspondence between profanation and divination of their mutual expulsion from the digestive observe of the socius.

Piero Manzoni, “Artist’s Shit” (1961) (picture Jens Cederskjold by way of Wikimedia Commons)

Manzoni’s 1961 a number of “Artist’s Shit” raised shit to the next degree by sealing it in a tin can and presenting it as artwork however Bataille’s essay goes additional by suggesting that the sacred inheres in shit. “Artist’s Shit,” in addition to works like Mike Kelley’s Rubbish Drawings collection (1988) or GG Allin’s performative defecation and Allin’s inspiration, the pre-Columbian Codex Vaticanus B, as an example, are expressions of the divine otherness of the profane. On the similar time, heterogeneous matter performs an important position within the operations of the State by means of its crucial expulsion.

In itself, Cattelan’s “Comedian” is homogenous matter, not more than a functionary of the State Equipment perpetuating an exploitative capitalist system, regardless of the seductively subversive sourcing of artwork supplies from a Greenback Tree on Staten Island close to the previous Wu Put on retailer. Solar’s position on this “unique artistic experience” has been referred to as controversial and cynical, however in mild of Bataille’s theoretical findings, consuming the banana has the potential to vary all the things.

If Solar’s plan is to interact his physique as a processing plant to make shit multiples to promote on the New Museum when it reopens subsequent 12 months, utilizing the proceeds to plant banana timber to be harvested ethically by circus monkeys who can’t curler skate, after which donating the bananas to underfunded colleges for lunches, possibly all of us owe him an apology.
