Economic Sculptures

We call them "Economic Sculptures" owing to the value as an integrative dimension, whereby the price of each sculpture is always entangled with the current HoC-price, which is today 665,10 €.

Money Art as a Commodity

Often art collectors manage their art collections in much the same way investors manage their portfolios. Therefore we called this sculpture commodity. Not only it looks like one but also it can be treated like any other commodity purchased for speculative purposes, whereby the deal is about  time and value.

Furthermore it is a sensual depiction of entanglement: A numbered euro-pallet as an object, two steel belts,  which represents time and value and as a quantum engine with one heart beat a day: The 28 HoC art prints with thier respective current price.

Every commodity is made up of between 28 and 31 stapled art prints (representing a month) and fixed onto a transportable euro-palette.

365 pieces of real estate
Like a small village with streets and a main square at the centre.
Each art print is cut into two pieces
The drwaing (inclusive Number and signatures) is assembled on a roofed wooden board and is fixed to the ground - like a house with a garden.
In those "house" with a fenced garden families are living, you can even see them on the board. Its not THE story about the history of creation any longer, it turnes into 365 stories of average families: How they got to know each other, how they felt in love and made love, about the outcome, a child and their daily problems.The rest is well known ...
This is the smaller part, the money art part, consisting of the date, the number and the price.
Due to being pieces of money art the collected smaller parts (the coupons with date, number, price as small print) can be seen as:
  1. either a transferable proof of ownership
     
  2. or if you bundled them,
  • they can be treated and sold like shares
  • or like issued mortgage bonds.
  • or as an (art) hedge fund you can even securitize them like collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) so that they could be bought and resold in secondary and tertiary markets.

Money Art as a Hedge Fund

This sculpture is reflecting the current economic situation and is focusing on funds which extend the principles of finance capitalism to art, which regard and treat art as a financial asset. We even called it “Money art as a hedge fund”.
 
Short description: This outdoor installation consist of all art prints of the year 1994 (365 pieces of money art, including Nr.: 93.666 - the Devil`s art print), whereby we cut each art print into two pieces. The bigger parts (the drawing) are assembled on roofed wooden boards and are fixed to the ground - like a house. The other parts (the small print at the bottom [number, date, price]) are collected and are either a tranferable proof of ownership or - if you bundled them - they can be treated as shares or issued mortgage bonds.
