Alternative titles: The Vertigo Of A Life's Work One Tx Away Power Imbalance The Price of Silence Exit Liquidity When a collector collects this piece, the artist named Jæn will fulfil his last obligations (exhibitions, collaborations, art residencies or art series, please contact he artist if you want to be sure of current implications) and end his decades-long career. The price is calculated as a monthly salary needed to reach France's average age of death, taxes included. The only way to un-end the artist's career would be to send this piece to the BurnAddress (0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dead). This conceptual piece asks you to position yourself on the edge of the cliff, to ponder about the life and work of an artist, the power — or excess of power — of being a collector, about the real capacity of an artist to retire from their passion (and whether that is desirable or not), and how boundaries between collectors and artists are set. One tx away from a vertiginous event.
