Thomas Demand at Avlskarl

Thomas Demand at Avlskarl

Look Demand has subtly altered his practice. Look they’re big abstractions. Look they’re not that interesting. But look they’re probably selling like hotcakes with 1/100th the labor, 1/1000th the effort. Look nice, Sugimoto-esque, perfectly unassuming abstractions, ready to be made decor.
The Richter effect - the big abstractions sell for double. Enter the blue-chips cashing in their cult-cred toward respite from their laborious labor, the lazy borey stuff sells the same under brand names. There's like a waitinglist ready to get in line for this, this cash in.
