Klaus Scherübel Wins Kunstpreis Ökologies Twice Under False Identity
Klaus Scherübel won the Kunstpreis Ökologies (Art Prize Ecology) twice, the second time by impersonating another artist and submitting a work previously discarded in a trash bin, stained with coffee and cigarette ashes. Scherübel does not view his practice as institutional critique but rather reinserts art into a real system of exchange and commodification.
