PRICE, Seth "8-4 9-5 10-6 11-7"

Seth Price's work as an artist often concerns itself with modes of distribution, the commodification of art works and other objects by society, and ways of evading or subverting these norms. Distributed by the ICA as part of their exhibition Dispersion held in 2008 (titled, incidentally, by Curator Polly Staple after an essay of the same name by Price), 8-4 9-5 10-6 11-7 was available as a free download for the period of the exhibition, and can still be found on the ICA website by following the link below. According to the exhibition information, "8-4 9-5 10-6 11-7 is part of Price’s ongoing series Title Variable which focuses on music as a mutating resource, and is made up of an eight hour continuous mix of dance music from the last thirty years. The title refers to the eight hour working day, whether one is in, say, a unionised labour job (8-4), a typical office job (9-5), the cultural world (10-6) or running a boutique (11-7)."
