Super Artists - creating a pseudo identity
This idea interests me greatly. I wonder what form this takes? Does it need a visual/aesthetic output or would it be better to create a modern mythology around this artist. Your introduction of them as a new member is an approach I like. Do we create a website, cv etc for them, press reviews etc? This ties together the ideas of fiction that we've previously discussed. Jeremy Deller created a series of posters that touch on this, i'll bring this with me tomorrow to look over with you. I wonder what work this super artist would produce and do we need to actually make anything or is the fiction the work itself?

This person is a performance artist. the work can only be viewed through the documentation and so puts into question the reality of the work. if only an image remains of said performance, what then does it become???
