a Danish museum lent a bunch of money to an artist working on an art installation called "Take the money and run", supposedly made to show the difference between a yearly wage in Austria compared to Denmark
when they got the frames, they were empty
the artist took the money, and ran
this, the artist has stated in interviews, is the art piece
@ChlorideCull fun fact: an artist friend of mine likes to relate how one of their art professors straight up told the classroom that if their art wasn't selling, they needed to add some zeros to the price tag to attract rich people.
@ChlorideCull fucking legend
