As previously reported here, Michael Asher's caravan at Muenster's Sculpture Project was reported stolen, then discovered a few days later. An anonymous reader of this blog reports that Scotland-based Vancouver artist Keith MacIsaac is showing a video in the Young Athenians Exhibition as part of the Destroy Athens Biennial. The video shows the caravan being stolen. Perhaps it's a similar caravan, as these things have become collectors items. If anyone has been and seen the video, please leave a comment with your thoughts.

It's the Asher caravan being stolen for real in MacIsaac's film 'Skulptur Projekte Münster 07'. It was effectively taken from one art festival and put in another. Mario Garcia Torres' more recent film 'My Westphalia Days' at White Cube is fictional(as Torres freely admits). It's is similar to what really happened, except the real theft in MacIsaac's film took place in broad daylight.
