I didn't get that but now I do it sounds pretty funny.this bonkers german art group of millenials stole a joseph beuys piece from a german museum and in a conceptual gesture donated it to a museum in tanzania. they dress as colonial explorers and have a meanage a trois and get steaming drunk with the locals. what's not not like precisely?
Until that last line I thought that they were going to hang on to it.The Tanzanian museum’s managing director, Jan Küver, tells Artnet News that he welcomes the work within its collection, adding that it reverses “the historical relationship of looting culture and art.” He added that the project is a plea “for the return of human remains and cultural artifacts of the Hehe people that are still in custody of German museums.”
Asked about the police report filed by the theater, Küver acknowledged the work may need to be returned.

Seems pretty plausible as they've filmed themselves committing a crime (or several crimes). Not to sound like a square.aah that's a shame. the german trio looked like they were looking at jail time if i'm being frank.
