DISPERSION (2002-)


Seth Price

Seth Price (born 1973 in East Jerusalem, Palestine; based in New York) works across media to engage in strategies of appropriation, re-circulation and packaging, and with issues of cultural production, distribution of information and the role of ideology. His work has included early sampler-based academic music, anonymous internet-circulated video and art historical imagery, along with sculpture and written texts.

Disperson, Price’s well-circulated illustrated manifesto on art, media, reproduction and distribution systems, was designed in 2001–02 for the catalogue of the Ljubljana Biennial of Graphic ArtAvalanche, and later published as an artist’s book. Investigating cultures generated and re-circulated by mass-media technologies and information systems, Price questions the production and dissemination of art and meaning itself.

Price is also part of the Continuous Project collective, which since 2003 has reprinted and disseminated seminal art texts and magazines, including the first issue of
(1970).
