This might be the wrong forum for this one.. but it depends a bit on how this develops.
Anyways, here is Sharon Stoerger´s Art Ethics page. http://www.web-miner.com/artethics.htm
It contains some seriously interesting info. _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"

OK, check this one out:

Quote: | J.S.G. Boggs is an artist who has consistently employed the image of money in his art since 1984, when he first accidentally “spent”(1) a drawing of a one-dollar bill. More recently he intentionally printed and “spent” 900 one-dollar Boggs-Bills which he “paid” to the organizer of a coin collectors convention, Florida United Numismatists (F.U.N.) Inc. F.U.N. then “paid” the Boggs-Bills to staff members and to a trade journal, Bank Note Reporter, for a full-page advertisement. The madness seems to have been contagious, for Bank Note Reporter then started handing them out as “change” to people who then went out and “spent” them in the greater world of the public-at-large.(2)
To fully appreciate the meaning of such gestural performance work, and the seeming public disobedience that followed, it is necessary to review the circumstances from which it emanates. |

This case is probably more interesting than the Kurtz case. _________________ A Charity Pantomime in aid of Paranoid Schizophrenics descended into chaos yesterday when someone shouted, "He's behind you!"
