Dear,
an exercise on values sounds very appropriate. Somehow it sounds nice, it is vague enough and equally precise, seductive but not flattering. Here is what an exercise on values consists of: two oil paintings negotiating nothing through completely different approaches, a common ancestor, a photo taken in a laundry service, empty bottles of alcohol (drinks), a couple of material gestures, some bread, car related stuff, a water sprinkler playing drums, three guillotines, something created to bring joy to everyday life, an homage to Asger Jorn, an image of a large truck or a large image of a truck, some hands pointing out the difference, watercolors, tree trunks and knives, colored photograms, a quotation, a bucket with water, a brain, a heart and a spinal cord, a curtain, a photograph of a person checking a book, a handful of silver neck chains, an image and a mirror image.
Kind regards
Alexios Papazacharias
