A booth is set up with the bare minimum for the Art Festival. A table is set up with a chair, some side partitions that separated the booth from the other displays and a plain simple backdrop. In the middle of the display table was a half-eaten sandwich, a thermos (with the lid on) and an unopened bag of potato chips.

A gathering of photographers could be seen snapping photos of the exhibit, remarking and commenting amongst themselves in hushed knowing tones that the display was a "magnificent representation of the minimalism the world is lacking today" and "the use of color and symmetry in this piece is exquisite!" when suddenly thier reverie is interrupted by the emergence of a figure from the backdrop.

Was it the Artist, at last emboldened to face his audience of admirers with words of wisdom explaining the motivation for the art piece that lay before them? The Artist approached the chair, a look of astonished annoyance upon his face as he sat down. He picked up The Sandwich, the heart of the exhibit- and profaned it by taking a huge bite out of it! He then desecrated the Potato Chip Bag element of the exhibit by ripping it open, taking out each chip one by one and relished in the crunch of each bite grinning his teeth in a sinister snarl with each chomp.

The crowd loved it! This was clearly the second part of the exhibit! They snapped more pictures, and murmured more comments about the fantastic Sandwich Exhibit, and how much of a genius the Artist was for eating the exhibit, erasing it's existence for only those fortunate enough to have been their to see it. The Artist then opened the lid of the thermos, poured out a cup of coffee into the lid, and drank it the the applause of the entire gathering. He then stood up, looked around at everyone and said "lunchtime is pretty dang weird at the Art Festival!".

It would become the motto for next year's Festival...
