'Entitled, 2012'

‘Entitled, 2012’ is a ‘curatorial artwork’ that was specifically created for the exhibition ‘Fayre’ (curated by Ahmed & Carpenter) as part of a research residency for Lionel Dobie Project [http://lioneldobieproject.com/mikechavezdawson], Manchester, UK. INFO: Artists and designers were invited to design a leading contemporary artist’s name as a logo [the invitees chosen ‘artist’ must have influenced their view of the current ‘contemporary art market’, i.e. Gillian Wearing], these then featured as part of a show-reel titled: 'Entitled, 2012' [LDP Mcr 'Fayre' Version 1]' contextualized within a sculptural market stand made from a local fruit market universal palette. Peter Saville legendary designer chose his favorite logo from one of the final ten, the winner was Brian Reed’s with his artist logo of ‘Richard Prince’ (1 minute in the show reel).
