When Mira asked us to write a text about our participation in “Chladnička Miry Gaberovej” in Praha, we were mainly interested in our artistic practice articulating a discourse around the consequences of current consumption in our society.
For us the participation in the projectof Mira Gaberova stimulated reflection on how to influence the consumption of listening an art work in a private space. A private space, where happens a transformation of the social ecosystem of its own environment to address the exhibition of an art work outside the institutional framework in which contemporary art is normally shown, as an excuse to discuss this issue with an existing refrigerator in an apartment. We approach the idea of overproduction from the concept giving the fridge the status of objetual work to avail ourselves of not having to produce a new one. Thus we understand that the appropriation of the refrigerator as listening object can result in factors to understand the consumption of such work as a formula of power. The power to consume an artistic work over and over again through the same object and through collaborations with other artists before and after us.
