    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.”

        To be expected.

        He performed artistic work & delivered the result; hence he is owed his fee.

        He did not deliver the pieces he was contracted to make; hence order to repay loan.
