The well-known artist, rebel, and eccentric Juris Putrāms has left in this work a brief yet striking written account of an unexpected encounter at the ‘Birkenfelds’ gallery. The text functions as a self-contained story in which an everyday situation transforms into a performative episode.

Such documented performances and their written scenarios are becoming increasingly sought after in contemporary art-market practice — they are preserved alongside paintings and graphics as autonomous works of art. Putrāms’ note invites the viewer to activate their imagination and visualize the event themselves, thus turning the story into a part of the performative process.”
