Shorten the art world. From the artist to the viewer, there is only one step: UCD. UCD is a collective, a machine, a mobile exhibition space and offering a token dropped a piece in your hands. A shortcut, yes, because UCD is a showcase where you visit and purchase if desired a work.
It is a distributor so similar to its congeners filled with candies and yet so different. Then as a senior in the art world than in the distribution. A being, a hybrid place.
Seen from the inside, artists face in their creation under the challenge of size, weight, fragility, a work that must be multiple. From the outside, UCD'DISTRIB is an exhibition self-sufficient, while both center and art gallery.
If the dispenser is initially manufactured, it gets a makeover thanks UCD colors and becomes subject to exposure in a single space. Out of the series, it reflects in the public space. Without altering its function is to distribute the machine regime change, from a reality to another.
The manufacturing gave way to manufacturing, as the distributor for the works.
UCD The machine decides and determines an appropriate preparation, specific. A multiple is created and crafted in series. The number is irrelevant. It is through the journey of the artist's hands into those of their owners that these objects stand out from any other product, of any other work.
Leaving aside the aspect auratic unique works, pushing the banality of mass distribution, UCD makes its way hybrid, at once strange and recognizable. A strong bond develops between the works and the machine giving a status of "infra-thin" in UCD adventure, breaching, jumping semantics.
