CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO FOR PEOPLE TO TALK ABOUT THEM

Exhibition “In May do what you please” Palais de l’athénée. 2005.

False press article.(21×29.7cm).

This work refers to a so-called censored video that was to be part of the exhibition. The work uses the newspaper as a medium, in order to create a gossip around the piece. The title of the article does not apply to the video but to the article itself.

This piece, just like “corruption, lies and threat,” are attempts to push the artistic work to the limits of the sincerity and authenticity that is usually expected of artists. Behind the image of “poet” sensitive somewhat outdated, it is nonetheless an illusion maker.
