丹麦艺术家卷走博物馆8万美金跑路，称“卷钱跑”是艺术创作
A museum in Denmark gave an artist over $80,000 to create a piece of art for an exhibition about work and money. The Kunsten Museum of Modern Art was surprised when Jens Haaning sent two empty canvases(画布). He said it was art. He called the work Take the Money and Run.
The museum paid Haaning about $3,900 to make the art. It was supposed to be created from thousands of dollars of bank notes attached to the canvases. The museum also gave him the bank notes.
The work was supposed to be similar to his past works that used the bank notes to show the average yearly wage(工资) in Denmark and Austria. Haaning told a Danish radio broadcaster, “The artwork is that I have taken the money.” He did not say where it was, or if he planned to give it back.
Haaning is known to create art that makes people think. He said the art, or lack of art, depending on how you view it, shows his current work status. “I encourage others, who have just as bad working conditions as I, to do the same,” Haaning said. “If they are being asked to give money to go to work, then take the money and run.”
The Kunsten Museum says the artist broke an agreement that he would make a piece of art. It has not reported Haaning to the police. The exhibition closes in January. And their contract(合同) says the Kunsten Museum will have the money back on January 16th, 2022. If he returns the money at that point, they will of course not take necessary steps to ensure that Jens Haaning keeps the contract.
Haaning says he did not make a crime, and what he gave the museum is art.
