(unframed print, 13 in. wide x 19 in. high)
$100 from each sale will be donated to WYSO 91.3, the Yellow Springs NPR affiliate, in support of the important community and reporting work the station produces every day.
Art description: A utilitarian identifier, the claim tag linked customer to object within repair systems ranging from vacuum cleaners to lawn mowers. Typically produced with a tear-away stub, one portion remained with the item while the other was retained by the customer as proof of ownership. Numbered and perforated, the tag mediated trust, standing in for the object during its absence. Unlike today’s consumer culture of disposable goods and planned obsolescence, a repaired and returned television symbolized a time of much less excess.
Print runs for this exhibit are limited to 5 each, hand-signed, numbered, and stamp-authenticated by the artist. Works are printed on 13”x19” or 19”x13” 100% cotton rag with deckled and torn edges, using a 6-color, high resolution inkjet process. Print is mailed in a protective mailing tube, and comes with an identification tag as presented during the exhibit. Shipping and sales tax included in print price.
