Florence Jung : to you who told me you don't need to be good wth your hands as long as you know how to write a contract

"Jung is laurate of the Dr. Georg and Josi Guggenheim Prize, which includes the purchase of a work, a cash prize, acatalogue and an exhibition.... The concept of JUNG60 created within this context is to hire art students from the F+F to take on their own role as fine art students and perform in the school gallery"

"Twelve individual employment contracts were negotionated with twelve art students. The written agreements, reprinted in this publication, regulate the realtionsheip between the emplloyer, Florence Jung, and the art students as employees. Each contract stipulates the agreed conditions, rules and obligations of both parties.... "

"An artwork is always a contract. And a contract is always subject to negotiation. So everything which had to be discussed was discussed. Every eventuality was carefully cross-checked. But inwardly, each of us knew that there can never be a single contract in the universe that doesn't hold in itself the possibility of being broken at any moment."
