“artiste trouve” is not something which can easily be sumed up by words because it refers to a plastic, unilateral idea. artiste trouve could  simply be yourself or something more like a ghost which could escape from principles of unic or mutiple. the essence of les artistes trouve comes through the uniformed presentation, but it is the essence which is entirely up to you, the creator. - the aesthetic, location, dimention, medium and the context of your artiste trouve mark are without confine nor boundary. the labeling of your mark contitutes an ongoing presentation or exhibition of the artiste trouve collection on global, local and personal scales.

"Exercise 1” was left inside a particularly appealing book in the biggest bookstore in the city centre, the second bookmark was left in the library of the art school, inside a book written on the ever popular readymade.Sheffield, 2005
