About Replic**t Ltd

In today's art world the role of the artist has become 
indistinguishable from that of the corporation. Late capitalism has 
fully integrated artistic criticism and in turn artists have become 
capitalism's ground troops. Todays art is one of integration not 
resistance. In recognition of the extraordinary possibilities and 
potentials of such a coupling the artist Replic**t has taken the 
marriage of business and art to its logical end and registered herself 
as a private company limited by shares.

Replic**t Ltd is an attempt by the artist to use the corporate 
environment for the dissemination of her artwork and her self, side 
stepping the gallery distribution system and art market altogether by 
turning to the corporation as the ultimate vehicle for the 
dissemination of the artist and her work.

Replic**t Ltd's primary interest lies in exploring the potential of the 
artist as an entity dominated by global business interests. She uses 
pre-existing corporate structures and strategies and locates herself 
within the already produced discourses of commodity culture, looking at 
replication as a potential and effective form of global hegemony.

  ====================================>
In the past few months Furtherfield's online real-time studio facility, 
FurtherStudio has been taken over by the artist Replic**t Ltd and 
seamlessly transformed into a telematic boardroom . Chat room, tele 
conferencing facility and real time snapshot of the company desktop 
have collectively transpired to allow shareholders to penetrate product 
development in an unparallel manner.

During this time Replic**t Ltd has continued her exploration of the 
artist as a brand, merging her signature styles and themes with a brand 
names values and attitude. Confessional work is merged with company 
gifts and projected onto merchandise available for purchase on the 
Replic**t Ltd website.
