In February 2022, Kunsthalle3000 was invited by CAC Brétigny as part of The Real Show. As a contribution to this, Kunsthalle3000 went in search of its employees …
Three office chairs were placed in the public space: those of a director, a curator and an assistant of Kunsthalle3000. For several hours, passers-by were asked whether they would like to take on one of these jobs for at least an hour. They had to sign a contract and were paid in cash by the hour. Her salary corresponds to that of her colleagues at CAC Brétigny / The Real Show: Céline Poulin, director of CAC Brétigny, Ariane Guyon, assistant at CAC Brétigny, and Agnès Violeau, who conceived and curated The Real Show as an independent curator with Céline Poulin. Their job was to sit on the chairs and do nothing. The director, the curator and the assistant of Kunsthalle3000 only have a representative function. On the one hand, this service offers an economical form of doing nothing. On the other hand, it uses the public space to publicize an area that is normally treated discreetly: payment in the cultural sector.
