Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

Let's subvert the ruling status of non-organic farming! Let's label every non-organic food!

PROCEDURE
1. You can send the A6 digital picture file along the cutting shape to a printing service. The cutting shape instructs the printer where to incise the stickers to be readily peeled and placed. The stickers on violet or fuchsia background are advised for pre-cut stickers. Alternatively, you can print the stickers your own and patiently trim them.
2. Go label all non-organic food.

«The “organic” term related to farming or agriculture should not exist, and we should define and term the non-organic agriculture instead. So there would be: first, the natural agriculture without artificial substances, simply termed agriculture, and then a post-industrial, chemical, altered and artificial agriculture, termed non-organic agriculture. So these stickers serve to subvert the actual ghettoisation of natural farming and the actual order where chemical farming is a ruling standard, a “normality”. The usual green colour recalling “organic”, for the non-organic it has been turned in the complementary magenta, which may be psychologically connected with something mysterious, weird, ill or dangerous.»
