I think the Banksy thing is pretty badass but never forget that in 1998 Chris Burden installed a battering ram connected to the turnstile so that if enough people visited his show the entire museum would collapse.pic.twitter.com/8RWOoOKDVi

I don’t remember asking for a fact checker, do you
@mikkipedia? Whether or not the installation COULD have, the magic is in the thought that it MIGHT, and you’ve just made yourself the equivalent of the guy explaining magic tricks to children. -

A better attribution of the artist talking about the work https://youtu.be/Yeb8uzuYQR8?t=35 … Burden: "Even though you see a lot of equipment this is really a conceptual sculpture."

Chance of it actually happening slim to none, would have taken a long time and a lot of visitors; I don’t think it’s been up anywhere longer than six months. So in a way it’s a literal threat because a threat always hangs in the balance—once the event happens, no longer a threat

I went to this showcase at the ICA and beyond the frisson of thinking the building would fall on your head and the sheer joy of confronting Burden curiosities like "You'll Never See My Face In Kansas City," there was this weird Evel Knievel hamster wheel thing.pic.twitter.com/snQCgeMNbu
