Description:

SUITE AUCTION DRAWINGS consists of a series of ACTIONS in several auction’s art houses, graphite DRAWINGS on paper, VIDEO, DOCUMENTS and a drawings PUBLICATION.

It’s about live drawing sessions during the auction duration, in the space where the auction happens. The drawings take notes from the performatical and economical event, data and prices of the sold works are included in the drawings.

Mimesis and camouflage are the rules of these auctions/actions inspired by the Courtroom Drawings and that articulate their routines with the epiphenomena of the art auctions.
