Reproposing items for art has been popular ever since (and probably before) Marcel Duchamp's Fountain. What about reproposing art for art though? That is a new trend.

Can't help but feel scammed on this. I did a series of paintings in 2009, had a local show in Mass in early 2010 and then saw everyone else doing this afterwards. Gah... what can you do? Check out the Cross-Cultural Contamination series: http://jonathanhansenart.com/
