Bob and Robert Smith
As part of the exhibition Bob + Roberta Smith present The Art Amnesty, which ran from October 11th to November 11th, 2002, at Pierogi in New York City, artists were invited to call it a day in exchange for a free pin:
'Sign this card and bring it with you to Pierogi and you will receive a special
"I AM NO LONGER AN ARTIST" badge.
A call to Artists. Pack it in. Bob and Roberta Smith are delighted to offer this Amnesty for your Bad Art. Turn in your brushes and video cameras. Hand in your chisels and marble.
If you think of yourself as an artist then step back and consider the last time you sold something (if you ever have), who turned up to your NEA-funded performance? Why you opened your studio and exactly who was interested?
For Gods sake get a life, and more importantly
GET A F***CKING PROPER JOB.
ARTISTS. PACK IT IN.
HAND OVER YOUR DUD WORK, EASELS AND MATERIALS AT PIEROGI.
One dumpster load of work will be disposed of at the end of the Amnesty—
Don't miss a life changing opportunity.'

Two buttons, for button week, alongside their public installation counterparts, and an excellent new edition by Kay Rosen, one of my very favorite artists:
Kay Rosen
Spoof Proof
Toronto, Canada: Paul + Wendy Projects, 2012
Image 16 x 15.5 inches, Paper size 22 x 21.5 inches
Handprinted Serigraph on acid free archival paper
Edition of 40 signed and numbered copies
$400 CDN
"Ed Ruscha's iconic 1962 painting OOF is not spoof proof, but SPOOF PROOF is. Made in the same font, colors, comic spirit, and proportions as OOF, SPOOF PROOF seeks to take advantage of a found bit of text which looks like the back end of of a word. OOF seems to challenge the user to complete it. After all, it isn't really a word; it is a groan or grunt expressing some sort of discomfort. SPOOF PROOF attempts to fend off future spoofs as it front loads O-O-F with S-P and P-R. It suggests that the riff ends here, but art builds on art in unanticipated ways, so the riff never really ends."
I just bought one of these and you should too.
Available here.
