About the Item
TWELVE CHAIRS GALLERY
David Datuna’s Hungry Artist (2021) extends the themes of his 2019 performance at Art Basel Miami Beach, where he consumed Maurizio Cattelan’s banana installation, Comedian, in a spontaneous act he titled Hungry Artist.
In this piece, Datuna continues to explore the intersection of art, value, and consumption. The sculpture serves as a tangible reflection on the commodification of art and the role of the artist in society. By transforming a moment of performance into a lasting object, Datuna invites viewers to consider how context and perception assign meaning to everyday items.
Hungry Artist (2021) stands as a testament to Datuna's ongoing dialogue about materialism and the social constructs that define artistic value. It encapsulates his belief that "any meaningful interaction with an object could turn it to art," challenging audiences to rethink their engagement with both art and the mundane.
