Simultaneously, the exhibition discusses issues associated to the creation of art\u2014related to Walter Benjamin\u2019s essay The Work of Art in the Age\u2028of Mechanical Reproduction. What happens when the uniqueness of an artwork is replaced by mass replication, and the features that characterise art, such as exclusiveness, are questioned? \n\nReflecting on the photographic camera\u2019s ability to replicate and reproduce views otherwise invisible for the human eye the series Royals depict the postage stamp series used since 1967, which depicts Queen Elizabeth II. The series portrays a relief by British artist Arnold Machin, and it is said to be the most replicated art object in the world. Since the release of the series in June 1967, more than 220 billion copies have been printed. \n\nThrough bodily presence and active participation on the installation the performance 5 kilograms acts as a provocation on questions regarding notions of artistic productivity, labour, production and distribution. While pointing out the problematizes of the \u2018art object\u2019 and production, the installation (Un)Finished, consisting of sculptured oil canister, variations emphasises the difference between industrial and artistic production\u2014the final result is always slightly altered, both physically and mentally.","space":"Suggested Exhibition Space : 'Gallery setting'\nRequiremrents: Floor space and\/or wall space\n\nTitle: (Un)finished , 2019\nMaterials:Plaster, silicone, rubber straps, transport roller, metal rack\nType: Installation\nSize: Approx. 180 x 60 x 80 cm (metal rack) &  extra floor spaces for sculptures*\n\nTitle: Royals, 2019\nMaterial: Archival pigment prints, framed\nSize:122.8 x 151cm\nType: Printed works\n\n*The installation can be presented individually \n\nSee image link for spesific details","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1C2tndW6b-QQ5P7xtd9bNiOgrmZSFpnfP?usp=sharing","cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":9,"names":"Karl","surname":"Ketamo","email":"karlk@karlketamo.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"PR3765098","address":"silmupolku 1 b 48","city":"helsinki","nacionality":"finnish","country_id":"74","birthdate":"1987-10-02T22:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1987-10-02T22:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+358 44 132 3122","web":null}
