Artist registers herself as company limited by shares!

[replic**t]

REPLIC**T Ltd - company information.html

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 coporate 
environment for the dissemination of her artwork and herself. In one of 
the decades most avant garde and honest aesthetic manoeuvres, Replic**t 
limited sidesteps the gallery distribution system and art market 
altogether by turning to the corporation as the ultimate vehicle for 
the dissemination of the artist and art work.


Replic**t Ltd's primary interest lies in exploring the potential of the 
artist as an entity dominated by global business interests. In the firm 
belief that art no longer has the universal value previously attributed 
to it Replic**t Ltd wholly integrates art and artist into the business 
domain. 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.

REPLIC**T LTD WILL BE LIVE ONLINE TODAY AT 3PM BST.
