DER KUNSTMARKT (The Art Market)
The Art Market is a project which started thanks to an idea of research. This would ideally take place and progress in Berlin. It questions the idea of Art Market, analysing some of its aspects.
What is characteristic about this experiment, are the distance between the Art Operators or people who can afford to purchase art, and common people who usually has no interest in modern art.
As a result, there is only a small number of interested people. They struggle to transmit the art experience between people, and make them understand it and appreciate it as a useful cultural instrument to activate thoughts.
Another aspect I would like to question during this project is the economic value of art. A value given by time, by the “art market games”, by exposition strategies, by the artist history, by the historical era, by the place where it is located, by elements hard to understand.
To all of this, we can add the idea of street art perfectly developed in Berlin. A type of art that is part of the city, but not always recognized as contemporary art.
The Art Market is an idea that considers all these aspects. They mix together with the personal experience of a recent arrival in Berlin.
The project is aiming to use daily used products. Food we buy every day, for example.
The ultimate idea is to create a market which will reproduce in a scale 1:1 all the products I did buy during my stay in Berlin, executed in different artistic techniques.
I will be then able to sell to the market my personal story that I lived in this city, available to anybody. The artworks will have the same price as the original reproduced product. The idea of the product, had the same price of the product itself.
I would like to experiment this in two different places. This will allow me to put together “Art Market” and “community”, and I will be communicating better with the place. The first place would be an Art Gallery for contemporary art, as a space of interest for the project. The second place would be one of the numerous city markets.
This will create the desired exchange between the places of interest of the project. I will be able to capture different and common attitude of communities visiting different places.

THE PROCESS – PRODUCTS
The project will have enough draws to create a real market of drew products. These will be the copy of real products I did buy and consumed in this city.
