Constraint n°055

Merda d’Artista

Shit in a jar. Label it. Preserve it. It's a work.

BodyIntimate / ExtimateObjectPractice1 daySolo

Shit in a jar. Label it (date, location, estimated weight, what you ate). Keep it. It's a work. If you find that ridiculous... Piero Manzoni sold his at the price of gold in 1961.

Instructions

  1. Get a clean jar with a hermetic lid.
  2. Use it for what it is intended for in this constraint.
  3. Seal the jar hermetically.
  4. Write the label carefully: title of the work, date and time of creation, location.
  5. Keep the jar. Photograph it with its label. Post the photo on the site. The value is in the gesture, not the contents.

Variants

Create a numbered series.

Set a price. Think about what that says about the value of art.
