Polish art student hangs own painting in museum

7. Why?

There is no reason to think that the work of artists who hang their own work in museums (which a lot of art students have done) is more worthy of recognition than the work of those who do not.

In fact, I would assert that self-promotion and concern with status are, if anything, negative predictors of quality of work.

If this artist wanted to protest the hollowness of the art establishment he could have just as easily hung someone else's work in the museum.
