| Promised Relations; or, thoughts on a few artists' contracts. | <<prev | list | next>> |
| I was writing my own contracts for ownership and exhibition of the archives. In particular, I was trying to develop an economy of perpetuity, one where I could afford the promises set up in the archives, yet still manage our living expenses. So, I began researching other artists’ contracts and Promised Relations was the result. Each of the artists was either using the contract as an artwork or as a means to clarify an element in the distribution of their work. It was also the first time I ever offered a group show for sale. |
