Fuckart & Pimp
Fuckart & Pimp was a media hoax conceived by Alex Chappel and David C West in April 1998 which subjected London's Decima gallery to worldwide media attention and became a British front page newspaper sensation, as well as featuring on national television. The show was originally presented as a real event and managed to dupe many national newspapers in the UK before being revealed as a hoax.
==Beginning==
The show "Fuckart & Pimp" was conceived by Alex Chappel and freelance reporter David C. West. An initial press release was sent out in April 1998 to all the newspapers and media describing the concept show, to open on 17 April: "Fuckart and Pimp" featured a Canadian artist named Angela Marshall. The gallery (the Pimp) prostitutes the artist (the Whore), and the buyer (the Punter) has to consummate the sale of a painting by performing a sexual act with Angela. It was billed as "a stark comment on the world of contemporary art", and the show would "enable both the punter and Angela to fully understand the workings of the curator-artist relationship". As ''The Independent'' reported, "A small picture will cost £25 and require oral sex; a medium-size picture is full sex, at £50 and for a large painting at £75, 'anything kinky'".
The first paper to make inquiries into the show was ''The Sport'', and on 9 April an article titled "I like them well hung in my gallery"〔"The Sport", 19 April 1998〕 and a photo of a topless Angela Marshall was published. The artist was quoted as saying, "It's a way of challenging what people think is acceptable", and "I'm not doing it for money, I'm doing it for the love of art".〔 The person interviewed, however, was actually Raine Lawson.
After ''The Sport'' covered the show, ''The Independent'' sent a reporter and photographer to the gallery to interview Angela Marshall. This time, a singer called Jules posed as the artist. The story made the front page of the paper on Friday 17 April,〔("A Brush with the law for artist selling sex" ) ''The Independent'', 18 April 1998.〕 with a page seven feature about the artist and the show.
