Estate

"Estate" by Aleksander Komarov, is an artist book based on the film "Estate" from 2008. The idea of the book was conceived following a discussion between Lena Prents and Aleksander Komarov in the run-up to the exhibition >Fall Out – Art, Desire and Disengagement at Gl Holtegaard, Denmark and at Malmö Konsthall, Sweden. The book "Estate" reflects on the means of evaluation of artistic production. To an extent, "Estate" is a response to the current condition of contemporary art and its relation to broader economic contexts. The project focuses the viewer’s attention on basic resources and the movement between material and immaterial types of labour, gathering along the way diverse statements on the migration of value.
