OOZIN’ Magazine is a bilingual publication that explores the relationships art workers have with contemporary political, economic and social issues, particularly that of work. Each issue of OOZIN’ Magazine presents the thoughts of an artist, in the form of an interview punctuated by images that illustrate their work.

Extract (from Implement, a dialog with Noémi Lancelot):
“What really happens to your work when you stop working? In 2011, Damien Beguet and Pierre Nicolas Ledoux decided to reactivate the work of another, Ludovic Chemarin, who end his artistic career six years earlier(1). Since then, they give talks, produce exhibitions and publications under his name - a practice whose legitimacy rests on both law (registered trademark, representation rights, reproduction and adaptation rights), and a friendly relationship between the three actors of the project. This strange artistic resurrection bring to light what it really is to remove yourself from your professional environment (art market in this case) and all questions that it implies on artworks, author status, value and authenticity notions. The period that separate the end of Ludovic Chemarin’s career and the recovery of his work form a special kind of latency during which the work conditions of existence are challenged.”
