Alberto Sorbelli (né en 1964)
I want to slip a work inside an individual "How to make coincide the Desire, the Dream, the Idea, the Enigma, the space of escape created by the Fiction and the Art, and the concrete realization of a life? The Word becomes the solution. Deeply analytical of the limits of our geopolitical, physiological, therapeutic, pedagogical, aesthetic, philosophical vision. A word, The Word, which contains the operating instructions of the Universe, the plan to circulate comfortably in it and the right of ownership finally reached its deepest and most complete extension. The whole thing is easy to memorize for the potential buyer, easy to repeat for the eventual 2nd buyer, and so on. "Since 2012, I've been moving forward to sell a Word at auction. Alexandre Giquello is putting this lot up for sale on June 6, 2023 at the Hôtel Drouot. On June 6, the sale will take place, then the buyer will go to the notary's office to lend an ear and listen to The Word that will come out of my mouth. Sol LeWitt and Lawrence Weiner wanted the idea to be recognized as a work of art, but this recognition and legal protection did not yet exist. Weiner formulated: "to possess one of my works it is enough to have become aware of it". After June 6, if the Word is purchased, the prophecies about the immaterial work, desired throughout the twentieth century, become reality: the person who gets to know The Word becomes the owner of a work (which he or she can resell)... By the simple taking of knowledge. The concept of property evolves, thanks to this work which leaves the status of idea and enters the category of realized work of art, legally solid."
