official title: "Work where Daniël Dennis de Wit can close his studentship with, which could have been an Artwork by Wouter Sibum"

This work is made in collaboration with Wouter Sibum. De Wit and Sibum both did separate installation pieces. The works are related to prominent recurring forms within each others spectrum of artworks. De Wit's exchanged the copyrights of his text paintings with the copyrights of Sibum's gallery-benches. By exchanging the copyrights on these forms at their graduation exam, they tried to nullify the notion of authenticity in their works, and openly question intellectual property. Together with the signed contracts, De Wit's contribution took the form of two gallery benches (normally residing in front of video-installations) from the art institute 'Witte de With', an exhibition space in Rotterdam, rephrasing questions Sibum asked earlier as his own: 'Is every object in a White Cube an art-object'?
