Frames within frames by Kolkoz

http://www.vernissage.tv | At the Armory Show 2009, Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin from Paris and Miami showed a group of works by the French conceptual art duo Kolkoz, consisting of Samuel Boutruche and Benjamin Moreau. Called The American Collection (La Collection Americaine), the presentation displayed a group of frames framing frames. Why that? "Because we wanted to make some paintings but as we are not very good painters, we stopped at the frames" claims Benjamin Moreau in the short interview we did with Kolkoz at The Armory Show.
In June 2009 Kolkoz will be participating in the official Art Film Program of Art Basel curated by Marc Glöde, This Brunner, and John Armleder with Holiday Movie: Formentera.
Samuel Boutruche (born in Avranche in 1972) and Benjamin Moreau (born in 1973 in Paris) live and work in Paris, France.
Kolkoz: La Collection Americaine / The Armory Show 2009. March 4, 2009.

It´s so poor to say, that you´ve been thinking of that idea and how you were always planning to do so. It counts what you do and not what you´re planning to do!

stay home, keep planning and stay lame..

@ESendra28 I had the very same idea once but I decided it was dull.

im now 27, this is interesting because I had this idea when I was a lot younger, never did it thought of it as a nihilist project, its funny to think it took 2 artists to come up with that lol

[twolunches]

you've been framed!

Well, if there is nothing new under the sun, we are doomed. I guess we can just give it up. Why bother, huh? If it is true, it has all been done, we are in huge trouble. We might as well just pack it up and call it a day. Hmmmmmmmmm. I don't want to do that! Let's move on just like time.

There's nothing new under the sun...
