Hans Haacke’s usage of the 1971 Siegelaub-Projanksy agreement for his Condensation Cube artwork in 1972. Each Transfer Agreement and Record is an analog equivalent of digital blockchain ledger entries for decentralized art. The beginning of provenance is shown in the first and second transfers, including names, price, and date. 1st Transfer : Thilo Liemersdorf. 2nd Transfer : Dr. Adolf Luther. The NOTICE associated with the artwork gives legal notice to all buyers of the artwork collectors that they are bound by the agreement, and can serve as a certificate of authenticity (COA) as well. The notice is an analog equivalent of contemporary NFTs, when used for these functions. Examples of the contract usage are sourced from Maria Eichhorn’s book, The Artist’s Contract.

“Like the Artist’s Contract of 1971, the ACDA remains focused on persistent inequities in the art world, particularly artists’ lack of control over the use of their work and participation in its economics after they no longer own it.” -excerpt from draft Visions and revisions in progress…

NFT = Certificate of Authenticity (COA). Anything else is speculation.

Sounds of the winter too, Sunshine upon the mountains—many a distant strain From cheery railroad train—from nearer field, barn, house The whispering air—even the mute crops, garner’d apples, corn -Walt Whitman TXT in residence @ Arts&Rec, Stamford, NY, in focus and respite from Gotham.

TXT is now in residence at Arts@Rec, part of OSMOS. Several projects in development: The Artist Contract for Decentralized Art (ACDA), an open source legal agreement for use in the transfer of decentralized art. The ACDA reimagines Seth Siegelaub’s 1971 Artist’s Reserved Rights Transfer and Sale Agreement, integrating concepts of decentralized art in a hybrid practice combining art, law, history, economics, and media theory. TXT is also developing theory, history and draft definition of Decentralized Art. Core members in residence include @soulincode and artmouth, with participation from @redbeast and other TXT members.
