“Conduit, Caretaker, Anchor, Catalyst” is a catalogue of relationships between artwork, artist, participant and audience as experienced during projects under the umbrella of Das Fundbuero.
The folio of 24 prints diagram various formations, interdependencies and hierarchies of participatory artistic work, with an emphasis on the multiple roles an artist can take within it. It also serves as a metaphor for social relations more broadly.
While the diagrams are divided into categories by lists of possible names for the artist’s roles, the lack of binding for the folio allows for rearrangement and reclassification by the reader. Printed in an edition of 70 copies, available fron Birchwood Palace Industries.
