$400 / O.B.O.

I think it's strangely impressive how true to this theme you've decided to be. The fact that you stole a bunch of stuff for a project makes me feel more intrigued than anything, but it's definitely a stand-out performance from the rest of us lesser thieves. My only concern (and I hate saying this) is that I'm not sure to what extent we can call this art. It seems like your primary intentions are for the story and shock value, and not aestheticism, which is why I say this. Overall I think you have a very interesting take on this assignment that certainly stands out.

I love how literally you've taken the prompt. It's extremely impressive how much thought you've put into this, and also how you were actually able to steal ~$400 worth of stuff. To address the concern of the previous commenter, personally I feel like art is really dependent on the context, y'know? Can we really say that Duchamp's Fountain (or other readymade) is any more or less "artistic"? After all, it is literally just a urinal, and yet it is highly important in the art world. So I guess it's the context of the piece and the intention behind it that makes it "art." Anyway, great job! I especially enjoyed reading your documentation.

I find it interesting that from your written content it seems that you immediately set off to satisfy artistic demands. Given your role as an artist yourself in this project and also your disposition towards demands as an outwardly requirement, I'm curious to find out just how literally you've taken the instructions. Despite the illusions that you're just accomplishing what the assignment says, you're ver much taking the project in a direction of your own and I am curious about the endpoint.
