After much acrimony, twelve artists whose submissions had previously been accepted were banned from the upcoming “Pink Rules” show at the Duck Hollow Museum of Art. Each artist was to submit a canvas entirely covered in Mexican Pink, but the twelve rebel artists were found to have used Barbie Pink instead. According to a museum spokesperson, this deviation indicated that the artists did not take the theme of the exhibit seriously and were bad people and should be shunned. When the ban was announced yesterday, the twelve artists immediately formed a countermovement under the name “The Pink Secession” and announced a counterexhibit at the Acorn Hill Countermuseum of Counterart. However, the Pink Secession has since split into eight different artistic movements, each championing a different shade of pink, and the counterexhibit has lost its corporate sponsorships.
