Karriere is a newly opened and much hyped (rightfully so) bar in Copenhagen where everything from the name to the interior has been designed by a long list of artists, such as Olafur Eliasson, Ceal Floyer, Douglas Gordon, Jesper Just, Robert Stadler, Dan Graham etc.
Now, the price on selected drinks at Karriere Bar has been turned into a work of art by artist Kenneth A. Balfelt, who created a 'price policy' that experiments with the relation between price- and social structures.
The new prices are determined by your look and circumstances related to your person. It is the waiters and bartenders who decide if you qualify for the special prices
Some price examples: Yuppies pay extra for beer. Hippies and activists pay extra for organic soda. The homeless get a discount on cafe cortado. Gay couples who French kiss for 30 seconds get a discount on apfelschorle. Immigrants, asians who speak Danish as well as blacks in company of whites get various discounts. And so on.
Probably not politically correct, but it should generate some unexpected and interesting situations!

Stunt, won't happen for real. As they know, completely illegal discrimination banned under Danish and EU law, would have licence suspended and be fined. The arrogance to pretend homeless should be used to promote silly extravagant rich boy bars.
Worked on you guys though.
