Attention! Attention! is a four channel video installation that questions the mechanics in the economies of art through the relations between a young artist and art system agents: the art lover, the collector, the press and the gallerist. In each video, Gizem Karakas attempts to draw one of these specific figures’ attention considering their role in the art world. Briefly, she tries to charm the art lover, to get noticed by the press, to persuade the collector to buy the work, and argue the gallerist into showing it.
