Flat File

Flat File is a collaboration between Strange Practice and Andrew Chen and Wesley Scott of New York menswear brand 3sixteen. Launched during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, Flat File deconstructs and bootlegs vintage art exhibition posters and imagines what a museum merch program could be. The project was featured in GQ magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and Gear Patrol.

Ideas cannot be owned. They belong to whoever understands them. The piece takes a physical form and becomes an object. This object may be possessed. ‘A work of art,’ says Gertrude Stein, ‘is either priceless or worthless.’”
