FRESH AIR PAINTING
James Franco's new art project, the Museum of Non-Visible Art (MONA). People questioned whether the project was an elaborate ruse, as there are no physical works to purchase, only ideas. Prices for the ideas ranged from $1 to $10,000, and despite the criticism the project has received, many have purchased ideas from MONA's kickstarter campaign, including Aimee Davison, who purchased the $10,000 piece entitled "Fresh Air".
