All aesthetic decisions for the frames, including count, dimensions, shape, materials, orientation, matting, and choice of images from the set, are chosen by the framers without consulting the artists. Titles are taken from the work order ID numbers used by the frame shop.

Someone Else's Problems in Doing This Work as It is Linked to Writing by Keith Tilford, commission agreement, 2025
inkjet on paper, 9,855 words, dimensions variable
A writer is commissioned by the brothers to produce critical art historical and theoretical essays on one or more projects done throughout their exhibition history. Length, payment, deadlines, and publishing are agreed upon between both parties. Methodological and interpretive frameworks, style, content, title, and overall bias are determined by the author alone. Upon completion and payment the essay file is formatted, including font, layout, images, printing method, and page size, as well as language translations, by the artists and presented as artworks. Titles of the artworks are taken from the titles and author credits of the essays.

A waiver for individual’s image rights is posted on the threshold of the exhibiting body announcing the presence of PTZ motion tracking night vision security cameras on the premises. Such cameras produce sequences of images to compare a current state of their environment to its previous state, allowing the device to identify differences between the space and moving objects within it. Access to the space is warranted on the revocation of an individual’s claim to any image rights on the photos these cameras produce.
