OH! Art OH!

Bees Swarm At Opening! Art Patrons Stampede!

San Diego-Calif.–An afternoon wine and cheese and art opening on Tuesday at the Gadtone Gallery ended abruptly and turned into a wild melee. Hundreds of bees came swarming down from the ceiling of the gallery startling patrons viewing a show entitled DANGER /ART! According to an eyewitness at the opening, patrons in their haste to get to exit doors knocked over tables of food and beverages, damaged works of art, and a women was injured when she was pushed and landed face down in Echo Vito’s sculpture, “Large White Eggs Buried In Fine White Sand,” causing massive damage to the work and ruining her cocktail dress.

“I thought at first that I was witnessing some form of artistic projection,” stated Jean Jones, “But then I realized that the bees were indeed real when one buzzed past my ear.” In a statement to Miss Lisa Flowers our News To Amuse reporter. Mr Halvin Gadtone owner of the gallery said, “We apology to our gallery artists and patrons.” “We do not at this time know how the bees entered the gallery, and will be doing an extensive search for any possible ingress points.”

Other works of art besides Vito’s that were damaged or destroyed in the panic were, Billy Crisis video system for, “No Beeping While Backing Up Truck,“  Missy Wright’s string construction, “Don’t Trip On This String, Or A Bucket Of Water Will Land On Your Head,” (It works), and Farmer Brown’s  “Pig In A Pen,” which during the excitment broke loose from its confines, ran madly about the gallery startling patrons further, and finally stopped to gobble up all the food which had fallen on the floor. “All in all, it was a very wild afternoon,” Ms. Jones stated.
