| Based on my own economic situation as an artist,
I build myself a
microcosm that pays its own way to a certain extent, so that I am
not forced to depend entirely on exhibition budgets. It is absurd
that there are virtually no exhibitions for which you receive a
fee for having your name on the wall, although you do the intellectual
work up front. In my projects, I examine these economic structures
and, like a producer, I set up a framework in which everyone involved
acts as a co-producer.
