Made by MSCHF

A comprehensive, irreverent guide to the inner workings of provocative art collective MSCHF Made by MSCHF is a survey of the work of Brooklyn-based art collective MSCHF, known for their eclectic projects that critique the very areas of popular culture they inhabit. Ranging from a line of designer handbags only visible under a microscope to an anime dating game that helps players generate a functional tax return, MSCHF¡¯s works are incisive, often viral, and always instilled with their unique brand of subversive humor. Featuring never-before-seen imagery, this book presents case studies that explore twelve of MSCHF¡¯s projects in depth, providing readers with a blueprint of how their works are developed from ideation to release. Written by two of the collective¡¯s cofounders, the book features an additional six thematic essays and an archive of every MSCHF artwork to date, together revealing the experimental group¡¯s range and evolution. Projects include: Big Red Boot, a pair of cartoonishly large rubber boots; Jesus Shoes, their designer-branded sneakers filled with holy water; ATM Leaderboard, an ATM installed at Art Basel Miami Beach that ranked users by bank balance; and Severed Spots, in which they cut out spots from Damien Hirst prints and sold them as individual art works.
