08w27:1 Banana Posted July 3rd, 2008 by timothy. 2 Comments Goodreads | 2008 week 27 number 1 (Banana) One banana: $2,500 | Oliver Moore http://goodreads.timothycomeau.com/shorty/theglobeandmail/banana/ Is a banana art? A passerby walking along Granville Street in Halifax might now have reason to think so. Because in the window at Gallery Page and Strange sits a humble banana. At first glance, it appears to be a forgotten part of someone’s lunch. Perhaps set aside because it’s still a bit green and not really ready to eat. But on closer look the passerby will notice a tag alongside the piece of fruit. The artist is identified as Michael Fernandes. The work is called Banana. The price is $2,500.
