MOdern arts aren't arts at all. Arts should be a sort of entertainment, by beauty, by freezing an important moment in time or by making people think about something. Just compare that pile of rubbish to the works of some real painter or sculptor and cry. Actually the bin was a perfect place for this installation.

A better representation would be imported american beer/liquor bottles on the floor.

 Yes it is bloody rubish,but it has his purpose to open eyes how trash modern sociaty is
Remember Andy Warhol and his pop art,what it was,copy and past coca cola or cambell soup images
Even art created by that modern sociaty people is going to trash,good story

........ >_>   *rips up all his practice drawings of characters and throws a pile of dirt on a painting to sell as 'art' then takes it to a gallery*

I'm not fucking surprised in the slightest, these people will claim anything is art especially if they can sell it to idiots for a few thousand without actually having put any effort into it.

An art installation of empty champagne bottles and spent party poppers reopened in Italy on Tuesday, three days after cleaning staff mistook it for rubbish and binned it.

"Where shall we go dancing tonight?" was intended to invoke the consumerism, financial speculation, mass media and parties of the 1980s, but fell foul of unwary cleaners at the weekend.

After realizing the mistake, staff at the Museion Bozen-Bolzano in the northern Alto Adige region hastily salvaged the materials from rubbish sacks and recreated the art work.

Museum director Letizia Ragaglia suggested the incident had served to get people talking about modern art.

"It has sparked a great debate ... It all goes to show how contemporary art is capable of arousing great interest, or even annoying people. We believe it is essential to keep this dialogue open," she said in a statement.

The creators of the installation, Sara Goldschmied and Eleonora Chiari were not amused. "What happened was bad. It cannot be possible for an installation to end up in the rubbish bin," the pair were quoted as saying by Alto Adige newspaper.

The show will be open to the public until Nov. 22.
