If the collector would like to choose three other panels form the series of 25 UGLD please email me. ‘The Detoxification, Left Defender, Mythic Being UGLD’ is a statement on Human Rights and Art in the form of quotes. It comments on our current cultural-political situation through quotes, or to be more precise, through artwork titles that refer to other artworks. It is a selection of 3 titles from exhibited artworks and they have been sampled by a program looking for artwork titles containing key terms of the Convention of Human Rights. After this first selection, it is up to the viewer to create a narrative, to interact, to contemplate. The individual panels are placed on shelves and the viewer/ curator/ collector decides the order or arrangement and the narrative these snippets of texts create. Because the individual panels are not fixed, they can be re-arranged if and when needed to create another narrative. Each work in itself refers to an artwork that exists somewhere else and might be found through an online search. It is a starting point, a doorway to be opened and multiple links to be explored. The font is called Being Human and is created by the artist for this project. The background of each image shows random computer generated stripes and refers to the digital screen this work was originally shown on. The artwork is in essence a printout from a continuously changing digital database. It solidifies digital data into a tangible visual object and by doing so it bridges both the analogue and digital world. This unique work is made with museum quality hi-definition 12 colour printing, certified for 100+ years. It is face mounted on plexiglass, with a solid aluminium subframe, creating a floating image in front of the wall. Ready to install on purpose made shelf or to be hung on a wall. The 5 mm crystal clear plexiglass with polished edges creates a smooth contemporary work. The back of the image is sealed with a white backing layer to protect it.
