Dot matrix printer running continuously, paper, neon light - «you know, the artist who...»
As an endless inventory of Borgesean inspiration, the text is a classification of artists according to what they do, but not only (more than 5,000 categories). It reveals similarities or filiations between the works, quotes commonplaces but also cases of unsuspected homonymy. The result establishes some kind of panolisting englishramic image of contemporary art and invites an approach to fine arts by way of anecdotes. The installation highlights the absurdity of such a project as of any attempt to reduce a work of art to a simple definition.
