This is totally MOOT

An Italian artist sold his "invisible sculpture" for a very real $18,000, despite the fact he says it's made from "air and spirit."

They were talking about found art today on The Tom and Curley Show, so I sent them a link to MOOT, and we got a little shout out. WOOT! MOOT!

It seems like something out of a movie. In fact, if there isn’t a scene in some Mr. Bean joint in which people mistake something for art, I’ll eat my hat. A couple of teenagers at San Francisco’s Museum of Modern Art decided to place a pair of eyeglasses on the floor in one of the rooms just to se...

These videos for S**t Happens deserve to be in a museum, so why not have their first exhibit here at MOOT. Beautiful work by MOOT co-founder Ryan Worsley. https://vimeo.com/ondemand/sh*thappens

Real stories from real people about the most intense, suspenseful, agonizing moments in their lives... when they shat themselves.

In celebration of our first edition being published, we figured it was time to start working on the second edition. Here is IS IT SAFE? Curated by Liza Keckler.

Here the artist tempts us, once again by offering us forbidden fruit. In what we can only speculate was once a functioning electric outlet, the artist has simply covered the interface with electrician’s tape and declared in three mono-syllabic words DO.NOT.USE. This naturally evokes the question “Why?” Is it no longer connected as the wire that so drastically steers us in away at a 90 degree angle might suggest? Or is it hazardous, as the tiny wires peaking out from behind the metal sheath would imply. They are so small, how could they possibly hurt anyone, daring us to reach out and make physical contact with them. Do they offer us a safe thrill, or imminent death by electrocution? One should also take into account the location of this piece, installed just beside a painting, the artist taunting us “You want art? I’ll give you art.”

Today's the last day to bid on art for sale :: http://www.ebay.com/itm/301426837891?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

In this work, the artist has chosen his own self as the medium. Using a sweatshirt made of cotton, and a cup of coffee which the artist has "spilled" on the canvas for maximum it affect, the artist asks us many questions.
