ALGORITHMS MULTIPLE, 2019 Relabelled Alphabetti Spaghetti can, numbered and signed edition of 20
'Sweet Dreams' signed multiple, edition of 20, created for The Art Vending Machine located within Exeter Phoenix. The machine dispenses packet sized art ‘at the clunk of the coin’.
Unconventionally, the show’s twelve new works were initially conceived as titles, each an anagram of the word Algorithms, before being realised as artworks in response to their name; Grail Moths, Largish Tom, Mistral Hog, Loams Girth, Shalom Grit, Solar Might, Roams Light, Moral Sight, A Grim Sloth, A Logs Mirth, Mortal Sigh, each speaking to Hirst’s particular methodology of collecting, curating and collaging images, words and objects.
