(London 1978), Lives

Carolina Caycedo's work persistently discusses boundaries: boundaries
between producers and consumers, professionals and amateurs, profit and
disadvantage, between art and society. Caycedo infiltrates the most diverse
contexts, making use of the liberties ascribed to art: dependent on the
benevolent interest of her counterparts and their willingness to interact,
she invites them to join her in breaking out of the habit of always wanting
something better, bigger, more expensive. What is consequently exchanged
are not only commodities and services, but most of all ideas about a society
less dependent on economic constraints - and the role that art can assume
in this society. (text by Mathias Herman in catalogue of day-today. Secession.
