'A breakdown of the Price'
Above is the edited version of the text that will be accompanying the sculpture within the exhibition. I have corrected the grammatical error and re-calculated the price using minimum wage, plus the actual price of material for the final piece.
For the exhibition this will be printed out multiple times and stacked beside the sculpture, or within the exhibition. This piece will connect with the catalogues we sometimes see in commercial galleries, displaying the price of the artworks on show, however this will be a more sinister version to exploit this. I will consider how best to display this within the gallery, perhaps it could be right next to the work, or on the desk at the entrance to the gallery as though it were actually for sale.
Printing so far:
- I have printed about 500 sheets of A4 colour on the standard laser printer. I chose not to use a Risograph after the workshop as although this would comment on industrial printing/ mass production, I felt that the modern day laser printer would help give it a more contemporary feel, with less room for error or miss-prints.
- I am going to keep printing a few more of the new updated version (to place on top of the older version with an error) as I cannot afford to re-do them all. I don't think there will be a maximum amount to print as the more I print, the more it will add to this comment on mass production and consumption.
Development:
- Notes for next time, to double check all work before printing to avoid wasting time and money.
