Pure Taste Indicator Workshop/Conference/Happening

participations:

 

The Pure Taste Indicator (PTI) is a new and alternative reference model for the art world. It is a new way to appreciate and value art. This is grounded in a complete change of paradigm, in contrast with the current one, which is based on fame and prestige. Being this last one susceptible to corruption, speculation, traffic of influences, convenient friendships, etc. The PTI is free of these variables because it is obtained based on democratic processes like PARECON, referendum and demarchy. This brings a change of paradigm making art valuable based on the taste and knowledge in the art of three groups who compose the art world: artists, art lovers and the institution.These groups is so called the Art Market Regulation Commission (AMARC).

In the process of the Pure Taste Indicator calculation, a minimum of ten persons of each group are selected randomly to evaluate four parameters that represents the quality of the artist work using their taste and knowledge in art. The Pure Taste Indicator is also used to calculate the cap-prices of the artist work to avoid speculation.

With this workshop, DHAdmann, artist and founder of the ODBK, seeks to bring attention to current problems in the art world and introduce a new way of thinking. DHAdmann will present previous attempts to democratize the art world, discuss the challenges of it and propose new ways of creating alternative reference systems. There will be an ongoing discussion during the workshop as ODBK believes it is important to involve a wider group of the society, and from there build a more democratic approach.

ODBK and DHAdmann want the current system to be reconsidered and questioned, and by doing so, believes that the scene will open up for new alternative systems that will co-exist together with the current one. With this workshop, we invite you to be a part of the dialogue.
