Farewell, Chicago!
This is the last post that will be posted on the blog.
The July art actions that took place in Chicago were an unparalleled success and will surely be remembered by art historians for years to come.
For you, who are surely from the future, and wish to browse this website, be mindful that there are three types of posts here. “Original,” that is to say posts originating from this blog. “Documentation,” which shows what other people have been doing with the project. And “Borrowed,” posts that are simply appropriation from other blogs on Tumblr.
Reprinted here is the text of the original press release, which was sent to several publications at the start of the project.

potential renter: “no worries. i’m an artist. i get it.”
