Lot Essay

"This is a venipuncture in our history Beatrix.
Venipunctures are still today the most common and non-invasive way to obtain cells and extracellular fluid from the body for analysis.
Only a few drops of blood are needed.
Ten red speech bubbles in a red balloon net weighted by a grip sandbag. Something to remind us the shows we did, some moments:
when a fictional character was the representative of a collectivity of artists.
or when the month of May sounded like a good month to start thinking about the possiblity of a retrospective.
so many reasons...
The title of this work has to be slogan!
It could be "Defy The Tyranie Of The Predictable"
but I kind of like "Justice Just For Us" written in red.
with all my best,
Philippe."
