SAM KRACK
Artemis - Traces de vie

Artemis sleeve tells the story of the apartment Sam Krack occupied when he was an art student, a place from which he drew an entire practice, playing with administrative codes and mise en abyme. The publication follows a serie of paintings on canvas and their moves from an exhibition space to another.

“Sam Krack enters his apartment in 2019 and the real estate agency produce an inventory. Kind of an exploration for that place, looking for traces of life that are described in the inventory in a pictorial way - “chipped on the side, patched inside and out, yellowed, warped, rough joints” - starting point of a meta-work which will develop over three years [...]”

Artemis contains : 18 reproductions of Sam Krack's paintings (3 colours risoprinted), a copy of the entry inventory, an index of paintings, a text by Pauline Faure and a a photobook presenting the canvas exhibited in the apartment during the inventory exit facing fake pictures of people visiting the place.
