Fecular art in London's Tate Modern. The blurb beside this work claimed that the artist believes "everyone is an artist." This inspired me to turn to Gretchen, and in the high-pitched voice of a small child exiting a bathroom, say, "Mommy, I just made some art! Please don't flush it like you did last time!"

Later, coming back from the Tate Modern's bathroom, I joked to Frank and Gretchen that when you flush a Tate Modern toilet, the contents of the toilet bowl are immediately put on display in a neighboring gallery, complete with a snapshot of the "artist" taken from a surveillance camera.
