Installation, Still life, Various materials, 130x75x5cm
´Veil of Invisibility´, 2011-ongoing
Mixed media on art postcards; dimensions variable.
Ed. 3 + 1AP.
This project consists of pictorial interventions on postcards purchased from international museums and galleries of contemporary art.
My intervention consists in making the artwork disappear from the postcard. This removal is negative only in appearance, as, on the mechanically reproduced artwork, I add a layer of paint that turns the postcard into a unique object, altering its value.
For every exhibition of this project, I invite a different curator to make a selection from my collection of intervened museum postcards. Through the instigation of this process, I seek to originate new possible readings of my project by identifying curatorial practices, exploring the notion of the work of art as a commodity in the institutional context, as well as systems of valuation and authorship.
