Two students managed to sneak a pineapple into an art exhibition in Aberdeen's Robert Gordon University after staff mistook the fruit for a piece of art.

Lloyd Jack and Ruairi Gray left the pineapple in the 'Look Again' exhibition in the vain hope that someone would think it was art and were beyond surprised to return four days later and see that not only had that happened, but a glass case had been placed around it.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Gray said: "I saw an empty art display stand and decided to see how long it would stay there for or if people would believe it was art."

"I came in later and it had been put in a glass case - it's the funniest thing that has happened all year. My honours supervisor saw it and asked an art lecturer if it was real because he could not believe it."

 

Gray, who is studying business IT added: "Art is never something I had considered but I'm hoping for an honourary degree now. If anyone wants to buy the masterpiece I am now accepting offers."

Asked about the meaning of the whole thing, he took the artistic route again and said: "As the pineapple decayed over time it represents the inevitable breakdown of all life. F*** knows."
