Underlays

Is my old dining room carpet contemporary art?

I've just re-floored my dining room. Do you think anyone would be dumb enough to shell out a few grand for the old carpet and underlay I ripped up? Would it increase the price if I act difficult? Or inflict a few wounds on myself and act a bit like I'm tormented? Given some of the crap Tracy Emin gets away with, I must be able to get a few quid. Would someone like to be my agent? I've got another project in the pipeline under the working title of "some empty tins of beans". I reckon I can produce 2 to 3 pieces a week. P.S. Stuckists can keep their opinions to themselves, thank you very much.

1. what would it hurt? im sure there might be some land lords out there that would want to buy it...put it on craigslist.com
2. I can be your agent. Normally I specialize in promoting waffles that look like Homer Simpson (or Jesus, there is a small market for him as well), or blankets that have cat piss stains looking like Jake Gylenhaal, but I'll give it a shot as long as the beans are kidney beans. THAT is art. And yes, acting tormented will get you more money on that carpet.
3. I saw frame 1 foot square sections of it and sell it in a studio, ask about a grand per piece.........
