Crit Clash: Maurizio Cattelan's Banana Duct Tape

Art Prof Clara Lieu and Art Prof Teaching Artist debate Maurizio Cattelan's artwork "Comedian" from the 2019 Art Basel exhibition in Miami Beach, Florida. Watch on the Art Prof YouTube. In "Crit Clash," we assign a point of view to each artist for the purposes of this debat. In this case Lauryn is arguing for the banana, Prof Lieu is arguing against the banana. These views are not necessarily what Prof Lieu and Lauryn think about the banana in real life by the way, so you might see them making statements they wouldn't normally make!
