best buy: where art and retail meet?

Last week artist Borna Sammak created an art show at Best Buy.

The plan was to secretly take over all of the monitors on their lower Broadway store in NYC. The artist is known for his renegade installations, and this one went off without police or blue shirt involvement...apparently because Best Buy agreed at some point to let it happen. Win/win for both artist and retailer.

See video of his installation at Animal and an interview with the artist at Art in America.
