Public Description

A flat wall-based painting that compresses the visual language of packaging, receipts, shipping labels, barcode zones, routing marks, and market handling into one resolved image. The work should feel like the administrative and logistical life of an artwork has collapsed into the painting itself: processed, circulated, tagged, valued, and always ready for market movement. It should carry readymade energy without relying on literal object attachment or actual collage, functioning first as a strong painting while remaining conceptually grounded in commerce, circulation, delegated systems, and value production. The result should feel recognizably Jonas Lund while staying immediate, exhibition-ready, and easy to document.

Production Notes

Produce one flat wall-based painting on a single support suitable for exhibition display. Build the composition from the visual logic of market and shipping residue: label blocks, barcode fields, receipt-like strips, tape bands, routing marks, warning icons, packaging fragments, overprinted zones, selection marks, and cropped commercial graphics. These elements must be painted, not collaged. The final image should feel like a compressed painted collage of logistics and sales infrastructure without becoming a literal imitation of a package or a graphic design exercise. Keep the work flat, legible, and materially straightforward. Allow some expressive variation in edges, layering, and surface handling, but preserve overall formal control. Use only basic painting materials and standard hanging hardware. Do not add actual found materials, printed collage, electronics, sculptural supports, extra panels, or participatory systems. The work must succeed first as a visually convincing painting while making circulation, handling, market-readiness, and administrative processing legible as its conceptual structure.
