On March 30, taking part in a panel discussion at MoMA Ps1 that celebrated the launch of the newly published book “UNLICENSED: Bootlegging as Creative Practice” in which contributors from the book were to give presentations on their practice, during Shirt’s segment he announced he bootlegged the book. Pulling copies out of his bag and passing them around for free, the artist said he also hid some copies around the Artbook store at Ps1. The bootlegs were different than the official book in that it only included the interviews with the contributors present at that specific event including author Ben Schwartz, Shirt, Shanzhai Lyric, Nat Pyper, and Hassan Rahim. Repeating the phrase “I don’t bootleg” several times during his presentation, Shirt spoke for 15 minutes on his practice and showed old and new work from his laptop including the debut of a new video “I Got A Story To Tell” (2024).
