“1pm, 54 Franklin” installation view
Saturday, February 1st, 2014
This is how “1pm, 54 Franklin” installation looked like at Postmasters Gallery, New York. We left the ladder in the same position as it was when the work got stolen. The laptop is showing the CCTV footage of the theft.
Our new work got stolen!

In Praise of Art Forgeries
Friday, November 8th, 2013
by Blake Gopnik:
“Our first instinct is to marvel at the forgers’ skill and lament their misdeeds. But while forgery is very clearly an economic crime, it may not always be an artistic or aesthetic one.”
and: “Sometimes, they give us works that great artists simply didn’t get around to making. If a fake is good enough to fool experts, then it’s good enough to give the rest of us pleasure, even insight.”
and: “Forgers also remind us that great art depends on the ideas of artists, not necessarily on their actual hands”.
and… I’d quote the whole article! Read it here. Comments are fun too ;-)
and here’s the poster:

The Future of Art
Sunday, October 27th, 2013
Nice article by Ossian Ward: The Future of Art
“And yet, it was the impact of the digital age (despite the initial shrug of the Millennium Bug) that would come to define that early era of the 21st century. Art was not immune from this epochal shift and while you might not associate the early burst of internet art with any real revolution – given that the original so-called “net.art” phenomenon had arguably ended in 2000, when it was included in the Whitney Biennial and so effectively institutionalised and somehow neutered – the seeds of that movement would nevertheless grow swiftly and begin to colonise the wider art world.”
