Summary:
Thanks to the digital imaging and to graphic editors such as Photoshop, Christopher Wool and Josh Smith create here artworks "for four hands". To start, one of them proposes an image representing a work from his corpus. From this basic picture, the other generates another image by reworking it, by adding and/or removing elements. A third layer is then added by one ot the two artists and a new "stratum" superimposed on the previous one... The absence of constraints and lack of mutual censorship regulates the alternating interventions. Only the choice to keep or not to keep the work at the end of the successive alterations is made by "common consent". Once the images have been fully reshaped, they are converted to black and white. Eventually, it becomes impossibe for the artists themselves to distinguish precisely who has done what within this pictorial triangle.
