Carl W. Jones asks "How can artists get their paintings into top museums around the world without becoming a branded construct?" To answer this question, Jones performed the art practice of interventions, which were held in major Art Museums in London, Toronto and Mexico City. With the objective of exposing ‘not so famous’ artworks within private or publicly funded art institutions.
 
Currently these institutions display multimillion-dollar artworks that are a ‘commodity product’ created by a consort of: curators, critics, gallery owners, journalists, marketers, and Public Relations using the metamedia. It is impossible for ordinary artists to display their work in national museums, so Jones decided to expose his work through the art practise of intervention.
 
He challenged the art establishment by printing one of six of his paintings onto the backs of white t-shirts. While wearing the t-shirt and holding a display card the artist or assistant would stand in a museum gallery along side the established art, allowing the public to be exposed to this unknown artwork as if it were part of the museum collection. This intervention was recorded on geo tagged photographs, and shared through a social media platform called SWARM.
 
The exhibition today presents a record of phase 1: printed t-shirts; display cards; and photographic evidence of this on-going intervention.
 
Pirate Exhibition: Phase 1 is a stand against the art systems that exist in the art world, so that artists can take control.
