hmmm

basquiat shoes.











via incepem

would you wear them or keep them as an untouchable work of art?
reminds me of haaning's travel agency

"By moving the gallerist from his office into the exhibition space and establishing collaboration with a travel agency, the gallery was transformed into a functioning travel agency with the gallerist working as a travel agent. The visitors of the exhibition had the possibility to buy flight tickets, train tickets, travel insurance etc. These services were sold cheaper than in other travel agencies, since they were sold as art objects, which in Germany are taxed lower than if the travels etc, were sold as normal services from a travel agency."

on the ticket it was written "THIS IS AN ARTWORK BY JENS HAANING VALID ONLY IF THE TICKET IS NOT USED"
what do you do? use it or keep it?
