Premiering at Cristin Tierney Gallery in New York, the film features a cast of 1,400 participants and utilizes a lo-fi, multidisciplinary approach involving painting, sculpture, and performance. Bitrán plays the role of Rose throughout, while the character of Jack is portrayed by a rotating cast of actors of various ages, genders, and ethnicities, with all special effects created by hand using recycled materials.

jack butcher self checkout abmb

Artist Jack Butcher (b. 1988) debuted his first-ever booth at Art Basel Miami Beach, titled *Self Checkout*, where he sells art—literally receipts—on a pay-what-you-wish model. Each receipt includes a seed phrase creating a custodial Ethereum wallet holding a digital copy, but the NFT cannot be sold; it merely proves ownership of the physical receipt. The project features a real-time tracker showing his progress toward recouping the $74,211 total cost of the booth, with purchases made at self-checkout kiosks or online in Ethereum. By the fair's second day, the amount needed had dropped to $33,103.56, and Butcher was optimistic about breaking even. If the countdown hits zero, he will auction the flip board and receipt case as a one-of-one sculpture.

Ecuador's Bienal de Cuenca marks 40th anniversary with a playful theme but a serious tone
