   The artists original work was to stick bank notes on a frame,capitalism blahblahblah.
   His current work would seem to have equal gravitas.
   If idiots are going to pay you for nonsense why not exploit them.
   I am reminded of the furore regarding one of Tracey Erin’s works for which she was paid a fortune which seemed to consist of an unmade bed and a few cigarettes.Problems arose when a cleaner cleaned it up.
   This scam has been going for decades

   Daniel Greenfield picks up on the story:

   Art With Politics, But Without Aesthetics, is Nonsense (20 Sep)

   The museum nonetheless exhibited the blank canvases in its “Work It Out” show…

   “Haaning’s new work Take the Money and Run is also a recognition that works of art, despite intentions to the contrary, are part of a capitalist system that values a work based on some arbitrary conditions,” the museum says in its exhibition guide.

   Yep they actually exhibited the “paintings”. Maybe some Just Stop Oil people could come along and splash soup on them, that way there’d at least be something to look at.

   There’s hope for my artistic abilities to gain the recognition they deserve.

   Where is a blank canvas supplier?

   It’s better than other “artworks” I’ve seen.

   The Just Stop Oil people should be overjoyed with this artwork, no oil-based paints were harmed in the production of this artwork, it’s just that no paint was used at all…

   ROFL because that is too true.

    I’d drag a urinal into the gallery and piss all over their artistic “space”. R Mutt would 100% approve of my artistic/intellectual performance.

    Mark Knopfler certainly had their measure in 1978. I’ve never paid enough attention to the lyrics in that track before now, though, I confess. 🙃
