Ikea-Häuser sind für Kunstaktionen sehr gut geeignet, siehe die wunderbare IKEA-Soap.
Die Künstlerin Michelle Pred hat nun ihre Arbeiten einfach bei Ikea „eingestellt“, mit funktionierendem Barcode.

In Pred’s case, the statement is “You Are What You Buy,” which also happens to be the title of the prints she shopdropped, a commentary on excessive consumerism on a day where excessive consumerism practically is celebrated. She says that as a conceptual artist, she valued the opportunity to make a statement about society over the chance to make money. The shopdrop itself, in fact, is part of the piece.

Pred gained national attention in 2002 when she made art out of knives and nail-cutters snagged by security at local airports. In 2006 she attempted to demystify the cannabis plant by growing one in a San Francisco gallery.

Die signierte, limitierten Arbeiten kosten je $8.00, die gleichen Prints in der Galerie $200.
