He did make art fulfilling the concept that was discussed. The museum director said as much and it sounds like the art will still be exhibited.
The problem is that the museum loaned out materials to make the art and the artist did not return those materials. It’d be like if you let a handyman borrow some of your tools, and they completed the job and took your tools.
- pilsetnieks 5y ago> Haaning signed a contract with the Kunsten, promising to deliver the artwork and to return the $84,000. The artist now faces a deadline to give the museum its money back on Jan. 16, when the work exhibition closes. The museum says it's talking with him about that deadline; it also acknowledges that Haaning did produce a provocative piece of work. There is no problem. He will return the money (materials) when the deadline comes. If he doesn't by then, then they'll have a problem.
