"The Crackers"

This is a funny take off on the Christos art donation to Central Park in New York
"The Crackers":
"Gift to the City is it Art or for the Birds? 'The Crackers' is as much a public happening as it is a tasty snack, defying the domino theory. Peanut butter or cheddar cheese. They poured their hearts and souls into the project for over 26 minutes. It required three dozen crackers and spanned over nearly 23 inches along a footbridge in the park at a cost (borne exclusively by the artists) of $2.50. Is it art? You decide. The installation was completed with no permits or bureaucracy, and fed to the ducks after about a half hour. 'The Crackers' is entirely for profit"
