This awesome (and light) sculpture by Ben Godward is available for adoption via Bushwick’s Pocket Utopia.
I wish Pocket Utopia success at supporting a great idea…i.e. to match up artworks and those who love them…they’re calling it the Fine Art Adoption Network or FAAN (Pocket Utopia didn’t start the idea but they’re throwing their support behind the venture).
It seems easy…you want art, you apply, they decide if you deserve it and then hopefully one day you can take it home and love it to death (though I love this line on their website “However, the artist may put conditions on resale of the artwork.”).
Now, how are they going to make money?

I don’t know how they’re going to make money — I did double check that it is actually free — but considering the example above, they weren’t gonna sell any of them anyhow. :-D
