:DDD Kunst House is pleased to present DEMANDS & SUPPLIES: 

«A holiday for the artist was purchased by ____________________________.» 

by Matthieu Laurette, as part of “:DDD Kunst House Offline” at Orbeli Brothers & Sisters, (Orbeli 41 Street 5th floor), Yerevan, Armenia. The Exhibition will take place at Orbeli 41 Street from 23 December 2022 – 07 January 2023 (6:30 – 8:30 pm.) 

At :DDD KUNST HOUSE, Yerevan, Armenia, a single A4 on the wall offers collectors to purchase a holiday for the artist Matthieu Laurette. 

In this project the price, the duration, and the destination of each artist’s holiday will depend on the amount agreed between the collector and the artist, considering that actual costs are doubled to define the selling price of the work.

 «A holiday for the artist was purchased by ____________________________.» is available for order as unique printed contracts in A4 or US letter format (dimensions variable according to collector's location), which must be signed by both parties—the collector and the artist—to be then framed in an artist's frame (size: 37.5 x 29 x 3.5 cm).

As the artist explained in a discussion with Seth Siegelaub in Frieze (2013): "DEMANDS & SUPPLIES, consists entirely of contracts — say, a contract that a collector could purchase the cost of my phone deals, the rent of my studio or have a dinner with me and stuff like that.”

 

 About the artist:

Matthieu Laurette (born 1970 in Villeneuve Saint Georges, France) is a media and conceptual contemporary French artist who works in a variety of media, from TV and video to installation and public interventions. Laurette uses various strategies to explore the relationships between conceptual art, Pop art, Institutional Critique, economics, and contemporary society.

Matthieu Laurette (b. 1970) participated in the 49th Venice Biennale in 2001 curated by Harald Szeemann, and his work has been presented at the Solomon R. Guggenheim (1998), MoMA-PS1 (2005) and MoMA (2007) in New York, Stedelijk (2005) in Amsterdam, Castello di Rivoli (2001) in Turin, Mamco (1999) in Geneva, Palais de Tokyo (2003 & 2006) and the Pompidou Centre (1997, 2000, 2004, 2007 & 2009) in Paris. In Fall 2023, MAC VAL Musée d'Art Contemporain du Val-de-Marne, Vitry-sur-Seine, France will dedicate to him a large-scale mid-career retrospective, covering about thirty years of work and will be accompanied by a comprehensive monograph
