Installation, mixed media

An art-fair stand for a make believe
gallery or institution claiming to operate in Oslo, Berlin and Dar-Es-Salaam,
made of 4 large-size stretched canvases and a number of odd-looking sculptural
works - in addition to a handmade chair (the dealer seems to be out) and a
handwritten note informing of the opening hours (which are the business
standard 9-5). A large dollar sign is inscribed on one of the sculptures; the
mark of hard fact existence and communication in the (art-) world economy. But
that global race is apparently not without a certain humour: Positioned on top
of the stand a sculptural sign reads: Run
Baby Run, and inside its double replies: Fun Baby Fun!
