Don’t worry, I’ll handle this. nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m out of all the things in Venice to see you find a replica pawn shop in debt and “VIP” room with stripper pole. Honestly, just come back here for real thing if you’re that homesick.🇺🇸❤️

Jokes aside ~ the  piece above is part of a “massive art exhibition that brings together a failing pawnshop, live-streamed wars, NFTs and a room for sex work in a historic palazzo” from Swiss-Icelandic provocateur Christoph Büchel.

 “Monte di Pietà” is a deep dive into the notion of debt as the root of human society and the primary vehicle by which political and cultural power is exercised.

This is brilliant. I absolutely love it. I found a picture of the “VIP” room online too. Reports state this exhibition has divided Venice.🧑‍🎨🇮🇹❤️
