The Directive

What The System Records,
Escalates In Value.


MANIFESTO

Every society invents its own bureaucracy of value.
Stamps, signatures, seals, catalogues, certificates, curatorial jargon,endless paperwork designed to justify a number.


The Directive embraces this absurdity and amplifies it. Each work is aclassified document, complete with stamps, annotations, and a price.

Last Directive:

$10

Once achieved, never returns.


PARAMETERS OF CONTROL

• Function: Surveillance and record.
• Format: Classified document, finite and immutable.
• Verification: Every Directive bears its own proof.
• Necessity: Control requires documentation.


PROCEDURE & FABRICATION

• Finite. Only originals. No copies.
• Escalating. Each new Directive rises in price.
• Irreversible.
• Exclusive. Directives exist only here.
• Uncompromising.


METHOD & TECHNIQUE

• Every Directive is original, issued once and archived.
• Bureaucratic layouts: stamps, grids, typewriter text.
• Controlled flaws: ink smudges, xerox noise, worn marks.
• Scarcity is not design, it is procedure.
