Born Every Minute of the Day: Having pledged $10,000 in support of James Franco’s Museum of Non-Visible Art, “new media producer” Aimee Davidson has become the proud owner of a one-of-a-kind piece of non-visible art entitled “Fresh Air.”

As the designation suggests, the piece, by “collaborative art team” Brainard and Delia Carey (AKA Praxis), does not actually exist. Instead, in exchange for parting with their money, museum contributors such as Davidson receive a printed description of what the artists imagine the piece would look like had they put in the time to make it.

From the museum’s website:

Composed entirely of ideas, the Non-Visible Museum redefines the concept of what is real. Although the artworks themselves are not visible, the descriptions open our eyes to a parallel world built of images and words. This world is not visible, but it is real, perhaps more real than the world of matter, and it is also for sale.

And here is the description of the piece Davidson bought:

The air you are purchasing is like buying an endless tank of oxygen. No matter where you are, you always have the ability to take a breath of the most delicious, clean-smelling air that the earth can produce. Every breath you take gives you endless peace and health. This artwork is something to carry with you if you own it. Because wherever you are, you can imagine yourself getting the most beautiful taste of air that is from the mountain tops or fields or from the ocean side; it is an endless supply.

Sadly, being a one-of-a-kind piece, “Fresh Air” is all sold out. I guess you’ll have to make do with printing out the description yourself.

This is my face when I imagine people buying pieces of my artwork for thousands of dollars when they’re composed of scrap material from junk piles outside houses.

Also, my printmaking tutor has a crush on him and he told me about how he’s studying a university degree, being a visual and performance artist, an author, a film director, a model all the while being a Hollywood actor. It’s like his career is a work of art.

Um, James Franco… I love you, but…
