“WHEN PRANKS BECOME WORKS OF ART“, by Joey Skaggs, Artsy.net
Check out this article commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Joey Skaggs’ “Hippie Bus Tour To Queens” and, below, watch a sneak preview of the “Bus Tour” in Andrea Marini’s award-winning documentary ART OF THE PRANK.
On September 22, 1968, Skaggs rented a Greyhound bus and took 60 beaded, camera-totting hippies to Queens, New York, to gawk at the suburbanites. This “cultural exchange tour,” as he called it, was a reaction to all the suburbanites coming to Greenwich Village to gawk at the hippies.
In celebration of this golden anniversary, Relight Films has released

DVD and on Blu-ray with more than 30 minutes of extras
