COLLECT THIS! - Issue 2 - Context as Currency

Few left

Concrete skateboard decks hung gallery-style at former LA and SF skate spots flip the script on cultural legitimacy. Issue 2 shows how a frame - lifted outdoors - can mint or drain value instantly. Here, context isn’t just background; it’s the currency art is valued in.
