Mystery Art box
2 years, 6 months ago
In a moment of inspiration while walking home semi-drunk from a friend’s an idea struck me:
I have posted a “Mystery Art” item on Ebay.
The idea is that as well as the sheer excitement of a surprise package, the winning bidder will also actually get some pretty decent contemporary art (as well as feeling good about the 10% Red Cross donation). The artist (i.e. myself) gets the financial flexibility of a patron, and the motivation to produce, without the stymied creativity that comes with usual commission. Some inspiration comes from a Dada artist who used to sell mystery boxes filled with such things as instructions for paper aeroplanes, and hair. While I’m not guaranteeing anything, I expect my packages to have something a little more worth while in them. 
Please check out the item on Ebay Cached ebay listing, and tell your friends and major media moguls: The exposure will definitely come in handy!
Edit: Harrah! Johannes Grenzfurthner from Monochrom art group has blogged my item listing. Monochrom is “an art-technology-philosophy group of basket weaving enthusiasts and theory do-it-yourselfers”, so basically I very much dig them
