Buy on the auction site eBay a fragment of an iron and copper meteorite fell on the ground, near Nandan Xiàn (Guangxi, China), (probably) on 11 May 1516. Receive this fragment by mail. Insert it into a pair of Converse All Stars sneakers. Thread these sneakers, then walk a distance of about 2.2 kilometers - of my apartment, located at 2503 Frontenac Street, Montreal, to the exhibition site, GHAM & DAFE, located at 3425 rue Sainte -Catherine East, Montreal - once arrived on site, expose the sneakers, the meteorite fragment hidden in one of them.
