JPEG Devouring its Own Pixels (2008)
The two icons represent the image file formats in two mainstream operating computer systems. On the left, there is the default symbol of the JPEG file format, employed by the Apple corporation in their Mac OS X operating system, and on the right is the symbol of a PNG file, used by Microsoft in Windows XP. What may be the relation between these file icons offered by default to every user of a personal computer and the history of modern art? In order to make things more simple lets ignore Microsoft’s PNG and focus instead on the JPEG file symbol employed by Apple (the operating system that I am using for this project).

"Erased Verlan" (2001)
"Erased Verlan" was part of the project Kinovar' Imitatsia— an exhibtion curated by Lilia Dragnev and Lucia Macari in 2001. The project invited artists to "get inspired" or copy works by major American and West European artists. The main hint of this project was to suggest that as part of modernization and transition to democracy in Eastern Europe most of the works by postsocialist artists are mainly imitations of previous works of their North American or West European peers. There was nothing left to invent, or get creative. This drawing was "inspired" by Robert Rauschenberg's Erased de Kooning (1953). For Kinovar' Imitatsia I asked Mark Verlan if I could erase one of his drawings and he agreed.
