Franck Bragigand has made two working methods he devised an essential part of his work. A visitor can approach him at any time with, for example, a chair or cupboard and ask to have it painted. The object taken can be painted monochrome or each surface is given a separate color using his method of ‘un plan, une couleur’, as he calls it. In the latter case, there is more work and the asking price is higher. After the painting method has been determined, a price is agreed. The 6-part invitation card from 1999 is printed in both monochrome and ‘each area, one color’. KvG

 

Additional information

FRANCK BRAGIGAND: PSS (Public Street Sculpture), 1999

The title of the exhibition “Garbage in order to…” refers to a recycling method. Franck Bragigand found all kinds of objects in the garbage on the street, which he cleaned, sanded, painted and exhibited as brand new in the gallery.
After the exhibition, the objects were thoughtfully placed back on the street – almost like an installation. The ‘consumer’ could take the originally discarded rubbish from the street back into his home, varnished and well. Bragigand brings street waste or second-hand goods back into circulation through various systems. KvG

“The Thai artist Rikrit Tiravanja created the installation Community Cinema For a Quiet Intersection (Against Oldenburg) as part of the City of Architecture Festival in Glasgow, Scotland, in September 1999. He created a temporary outdoor cinema composed by four screens and accompanied by a Thai café right on the traffic intersection in a residential neighbourhood in Glasgow and after dusk showed films that had been chosen by the local community.”
