- Being an art lover can turn into an expensive endeavor, but to lay down some cold hard cash on works that don’t even exist is pushing the bounds of art appreciation to its breaking point. New media aficionado Aimee Davison doesn’t quite share that same viewpoint and she used her bank account to show it, spending $10,000 on a piece of non-existent artwork from the Museum of Non-Visible Art (MONA).
- The MONA project is the work of artist duo Brainard and Delia Carey, along with actor James Franco. You might remember the intrepid trio launching a Kickstarter fundraising effort for the mythical museum last month. The most expensive item available for purchase from MONA was a $10,000 work titled Fresh Air, which is now the property of Ms. Davison.
I am now selling the latest in fashionable music, the Non-Audible Orchestra. If you send me $25,000, I will send you a postcard describing what the song that you cannot hear sounds like. Next week, we're opening the Non-Eating Restaurant--get your reservations now--they're only $1000/plate. Send me your checks and I will personally call you to describe the meal that you won't eat.
