    Cute, but we’re in the 2020s, not 1930s.

    So, though it isn’t invalid to be in breach of contract as a performance piece & especially so given the theme of the work as contracted, it seems unrealistic that a court will let that fly.

    Meantime, column inches for an artist who might otherwise have attracted little attention, which is (as with every other iteration of the same game is a comment on the nature of art within Capitalism & media under Capitalism) more than a little hackneyed by now.

      A judge already ordered him to repay the bulk of the amount. “On Monday, a court in Copenhagen ordered the artist to repay the money that was loaned to him but said he should still be paid his fee.”
