artist, curator, critic and collector ground a sect
*
artist or non-artist secretly puts her/his own work into the exhibition
*
artists appropriate some specific objects within the art institution recognizing them as their own work
*
through the act of mediation by a number of artists the authorship of a particular work of art is deliberately blurred
*
artist distributes alternative versions of her/his own (or someone else's) biography
*
artist invites guests to the opening of his/her exhibition in a randomly selected art institution. the institution knows nothing about the exhibition. at the announced time the exhibition is not there and the artist is absent.
*
a photographer prepares a documentation of works of some artists, presenting them in an environment the artists would not wish them to be presented
*
a director of a museum organizes a large expensive exhibition that only he can see
*
as a result of a secret agreement all art institutions in the same city (or country) at the same time present exhibitions of the same artist
*
the same exhibition is transferred from one art institution to another within the same city
*
an art institution disseminates false information concerning a single art project it organizes (many conflicting descriptions of this project)
*
an art institution organizes an exhibition of random objects of different origins that it accumulated over the years (not neccessesarily art objects)
*
a non-existent artist, event or art institution is being promoted in the media. the primary source of all the information is difficult to identify
*
in the media art works produced by several artists are treated as created by one artist and the objects made by one single artist are attributed to several different artists
*
an (anti-)curator (falsely) claims to be a curator of a particular exhibition pursuing its own media campaign around this exhibition
*
an (anti-)curator distributes alternative curatorial text or audioguide/videoguide changing the meaning of (someone else's) exhibitions
*
a curatorial talk about the exhibition is being taken over by self-claimed anticurator
*
the same curatorial text is being used in many exhibitions
*
curatorial texts belonging to two different exhibitions (eg. taking place at the same time) are being exchanged
*
something that is not an exhibition is received by the public as an exhibition. a non-curatorial text is being read as a curatorial text
*
all items in the gallery space are treated by the public as works of art
*
a visitor sees the exhibition from a predefined point of view - for example, an art project is going to be seen as surreal, socially engaged or abstract
*
a visitor perceives a collective exhibition as an individual one, and an individual one as collective
*
someone treats several independent exhibitions as a one single exhibition and several unrelated exhibitions as one single project
*
art critic watches an exhibition under the influence of strong drugs and then describes her/his experience in a reviewan art critic reviews only:
1.
the exhibitions he/she did not see or
2.
exhibitions that did not exist or
3.
non-exhibitions or
4.
the reviews of exhibitions written by other art critics
*
an art critic reviews the exhibition according to a predefined key - for example, along the formula "positive - negative - positive - negative"

2.
gives his column to someone else (eg, non- critic)
3.
uses only visual material
4.
writes a texts but not related to the established theme
*
an art critic is preparing her/his review in form of a cabaret, musical radio piece or videoperformance
*
an art critic prepares a review of multiple use
*
an art critic writes a positive review as negative (negative assesment, positive conclusion) or a negative review as positive (positive assesment, negative conclusion)
*
an art critic publishes at the same time a positive and a negative review of the same exhibition
*
an art critic describes exhibitions only in the way that she/he would like them to be - as a result her/his reviews are always positive
*
an art dealer sells all objects in the gallery, regardless of their origin
*
an art dealer provides customers with a visit to the studios of artists - in fact these are situations played by actors in a suitably arranged artificial spaces
*
an art collector collects only the fetishes of the artists
*
an art historian shows a marginal phenomenon as a canon and a canon of art as something marginal
*
an art historian describes an alternative version of events, mixing facts and fiction
*
