Prada Marfa Vandalized
the vandalised sculpture
March 12th, 2014
In 2005 the Scandinavian artists , Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset , they built a fake Prada fashion store in the middle of nowhere , precisely on Highway 90 thirty miles from Marfa and Valentine, in West Texas .
The sculpture "celebrating" the luxury in the most unusual in the world, a store is inaccessible, a provocation to the world of luxury and de-contextualization, "blessed" by the same Miuccia Prada who had set up shop with the shoes and bags that decorated the interior.
In recent years the building has been the subject of numerous acts of vandalism and now years later here we are again, in fact, the building was covered again minimalist splashes of blue paint and posters that say :
"will bring greater inspiration to consumer Americans ... so long as you buy TOMS shoes , and endorse Jesus Christ as your savior, welcoming the ' white ' him into your heart . "
It is thought that the incident is hiding behind an artist known as 927197 since they have been found many keywords that ricondurrebbero to the artist's website .
We'll see. Stay tuned
