I Like Art Market and Art Market Likes Me, 2023

Project Art Distribution, New York

P.A.D. [Project Art Distribution] is pleased to announce I Like Art Market and Art Market Likes Me, the first U.S. exhibition by Cem A., the artist known for running the art meme page @freeze_magazine. 

Embracing Project Art Distribution’s relation to vending and commerce in the city, Cem A. exhibits a selection of caps, scarves and zines from his fictional brand, Art Market. The artist’s open-edition artworks produced for Art Market satirize current-day art world language, sites, and events. The exhibition pokes fun at the relationship between the art world and the art market while offering a new medium for art criticism—merch.
