A Conversation for Things to Do in Moscow in the Winter

Why?

My impulse is to ask 'why?

Is it because the Moscow winter is so dark it needs something to light it up? Or because there aren't any beaches for hundreds of miles and people miss them? Or is it just Art?

Maybe Sol can answer that for us. smiley - smiley My guess would be because it's really cold and dark in Moscow in the winter.

I remember seeing photos of people in coats in St Petersburg, rushing to their balconies and holding their faces up to the sun when it appeared. Mind you, I feel like that here, and it's nowhere near as bad, but I am a child of the subtropics...

Some people just ducttape a banana to the wall and ask for (and get) 120.000 bucks because it is Art. (and then someone else ate the banana).
Another meticulously spread a few square metres of museum floor with peanut butter for Art's sake and got paid for that too. (I think that was a wise choice, but I may be prejudiced with regard to peanut butter).

The bigger question is whether it remains Art if there is a full explanation.

Was the photo taken in Red October?
