...background. It is as if the site is consciously positing itself at odds with the sanctified white-walled world of Chelsea galleries and international auction houses. In a 2006 interview with Fader magazine, Barber even stated that he “wanted to create a simple, accessible and almost neutral venue to show stuff—my own and other’s.”While the struggle between art and the structures in place to sell it is far from nascent, it is important to note that tinyvices seems not so much above it as beyond it.

They were, so to speak, pasted on the image like another collage element, inflecting its meaning without explaining it. They reflected his browsing in high and popular culture. The Glass Key comes from Dashiell Hammett, and references to the Fantomas thrillers (on which Magritte, along with the rest of the Surrealists and everyone else in France and Belgium, doted) are everywhere. On the other hand, The Man from the Sea is Balzac...
