An L.A. Artist Snuck His Drawing Onto the Met’s Walls and Filmed It

The Metropolitan Museum of Art became an unwitting new home for a work by the Los Angeles–based artist David (Sabastian) Miklatski, who snuck a drawing onto one of the institution’s walls and documented its time there for all the world to see. The Louvre Has Signed a Deal With Unions, Ending the Threat of Continued Strikes As reported by Hyperallergic , “In a viral Instagram reel, multi-hyphenate artist David (Sabastian) Miklatski detailed the steps of creating and surreptitiously installing a drawing on one of The Met’s gallery walls last Sunday, October 25. The work in question, The MET 2027 , is an oil pastel painting depicting a Met Gala attendee ascending the staircase flanked by shrubs and photojournalists as police in riot gear beat down protestors in a fiery scene in the foreground.” Miklatski’s Instagram reel , set to the soundtrack of The Who’s “Baba O’Riley” (aka “Teenage Wasteland”), shows his work at the Met interspersed with starry images from the Met Gala—which the artist describes as “an event where billionaires donate millions of dollars so celebrities can play dress up in the name of art”—and horrific images from Congo, Paris, Milan, Gaza, Haiti, Ukraine, and the United States.

The Cast of 'Saved by the Bell': Who's Gone, Who's Still Alive

[Note: Unless otherwise indicated, all notes and commentary in this article are from interviews conducted by the author with those mentioned." For millions who grew up in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Saturday mornings belonged to Bayside High's neon hallways. Saved by the Bell was more than a sitcom; it was a defining cultural snapshot of suburban adolescence, fueled by high-top sneakers, brick-sized cell phones, and the upbeat optimism of high school life. Decades after the final bell rang, the ensemble cast remains etched in pop culture memory. Yet time has inevitably caught up with Bayside, bringing heartbreak alongside nostalgia.
