Your art creeps into the Art Museum...
- Art creeping from an anon art creeper in Sweden
"How many artists out there will ever get a chance to show their art in a major Art Museum? Not many, the power of choice is in a few curators' hands, and they often exhibit the same famous artists' over and over.
It's time for some guerrilla art in the museum, because art creepers belong there just as much as the established artists.
This is a democratic art act and we are staking our art claim!"
If the core concept behind all art creeping is to engage people in an art act, willingly or unconsciously, then by 'participating' they become part of the artwork. The participant maybe inspired, amused or even feel disapproval. All of these things reflect the power of ART. What better setting for art creeping than in the Art Museum gift shop?!?
This anonymous art creeping friend made postcards of both the Art Creeper mascot logo and their own art and they put a stack of each in the Art Museum gift shop for sale as 'official museum' postcards without any approval of the staff.
Will someone try to buy them?
Will the shop notice the cards as a guerrilla art act or will they actually sell them?
If they are seen as guerrilla art, how will the conversation go between the customer and the staff?"
