Ticket-office

– Ulitza OGI Gallery, Moscow
The commercial territory of a gallery is a special cultural context which I try to perceive ironically.

I built my ticket-office in the middle of a space surrounded by a lot of other artist’s artworks.

I spoke through a megaphone, I was busy advertising my own goods. At the same time I was selling special tickets only for the exhibition made by myself. When viewers buy them they were welcome to enter the same space in which they already were.

Everybody was free to buy or not to buy.
Anyhow, twenty two tickets were sold but no other article.
