for the uninitiated, SECURITY is an ongoing work of financial performance that began in Q4 2024. a makeshift trading desk operated by the Solos team out of a very old and very worn-out van illegally parked outside of various illustrious fine art fairs such as Frieze and Art Basel offered patrons the dubious opportunity to purchase a paper certificate on an exponential manually-tracked bonding curve, with the promise that they could sell it back at any point during the trading window. unlike the world inside the fair doors, which presents a veneer of conviviality and slowness and in which patrons often hoard art for decades as if to suggest that they feel a deep bond with the artist’s work (at least until it can fetch a hefty multiple of their purchase price at auction), SECURITY presents a cold and hyperfinancialized interactive spectacle in which collectors may ruthlessly dump the work on each other in a no-holds-barred trading environment on an aggressive exponential bonding curve facilitated by the artist and gallery. representatives of the trading desk frequently infiltrated said fairs to hawk their wares to those in attendance, promising them the experience of a lifetime and the opportunity to buy work from an artist who will immediately buy it back from them if they so desire. yes i’m sure you have many more questions. it is an odd proposal indeed. if you would follow me please, our van is parked just outside.
