Blood for Art

Studio 360 | Jan 11, 2011

The art market is flooded with money. And that concerns an artists’ collective in San Francisco called Quorum. When they brought their etchings, paintings, and mixed-media to a big international art fair, every piece was priced the same: a single pint of blood, collected on-site by a local blood bank. You call it morbid – they call it egalitarian. Produced by Tania Ketenjian.
