FOUND OBJECT / READYMADE / TRASH / ETC. INSIDE ONE CIGARETTE BOX PHOTOS SHOW SAMPLES ONLY BE PREPARED TO BE PISSED OFF - OR DELIGHTED
Anytime I see people selling readymades, I question their sincerity. That’s because the art world is all about perceived legitimacy, and a quick way to make yourself look legit is to demonstrate a command of conceptual/theoretical traditions. Glue a pair of scissors to a sponge, string together some Art Words about it, and there you have your masterpiece. That said, I believe in supporting artists directly-- especially ones that make me laugh-- and for $5.68 you can do just that for someone named Lam Hoi Sin who lives in Hong Kong. Also, I love that this artist refers to their Etsy store as their “money factory“-- really spits in the face of ‘art as sanctity.‘
