Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
Well it's only fair, he essentially handed in an empty paper. You get an F for that in school, too. Plus he very openly mocked them about it, too.
Okay, this is…. Funny, but it sounds like some of the money was meant to be used in the artwork (the commission was to recreate prior work that used money to represent incomes of people,)
So, funny, but, uh…. Morally dubious at best
The exhibition was meant to feature actual cash money, and the loan he is refusing to return was intended to be for that purpose.
It's not even payment that he's holding on to.
