Exposition du 22 mai au 20 juin 2021

”Time Signal” est une œuvre de David Horvitz composée de 1440 cartes postales manuscrites sur lesquelles l’artiste a inscrit, au moment même où elles s’écoulaient, chaque minute composant une journée. 
Les cartes, de format 15,24 x 22,86 cm, ont ensuite été envoyées des États-Unis vers Paris, sans enveloppes.

Les cartes sont accrochées au mur au fur et à mesure de leur réception, et décrochées une fois vendues.

Les œuvres sont disponibles à la vente individuellement au prix de 100€.

Elles sont accompagnées d’un certificat d’authenticité.

L’acquisition de chaque œuvre est possible uniquement à la minute inscrite sur celle-ci. 
L’achat d’une suite de minutes est possible, et correspondra au temps passé par le collectionneur avec Yvon Lambert, le marchand.

Les œuvres correspondants aux heures et jours de fermeture de la librairie sont disponibles uniquement en ligne sur cette page.

Les oeuvres vendues en ligne ne peuvent être achetées qu’une à la fois. La carte correspondra à la minute de réception de la commande à l’heure de Paris. Dans le cas où l’œuvre ne serait plus disponible, le collectionneur sera immédiatement remboursé. Dans le cas où cette carte ne serait pas arrivée, l’achat sera remboursé si la carte n’arrivait pas à la fin de l’exposition.
