White Hat explores the act of hacking systems through art. Co-written by Marc-Antoine Léval and art critic Henrique Grimaldi, the book documents in images the Please Buy / Show My Work series, including the now-iconic banners reading “Please, François Pinault, buy my work” illegally displayed in key institutions of contemporary art—from FIAC and Art Basel to Tate Modern and the New Museum.
Through these interventions, the book examines how artistic gestures can infiltrate and disrupt the structures of the art world itself. White Hat retraces both the execution and the genesis of the banners, offering insight into their production, circulation, and strategic placement.
