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.

Carl W. Jones pregunta "¿Cómo puede un artista llevar sus obras a los principales museos de todo el mundo sin ser una marca construida?”. Para responder a esta pregunta, Jones realizó la práctica de la intervención y la llevó a cabo en los principales museos de arte en Londres, Toronto y la Ciudad de México; con el objetivo de exponer obras de arte 'no tan famosas' dentro de instituciones de arte públicas y privadas.
 
Actualmente estas instituciones exhiben obras de varios millones de dólares que son un "producto mercantil" creado por consorcios de curadores, críticos, galeristas, periodistas, comerciantes y publirrelacionistas que utilizan medios especializados. De esta forma, es imposible que artistas “ordinarios” puedan mostrar su trabajo en museos nacionales, por lo que Jones decidió exponer su trabajo a través del arte de la intervención.
 
Jones imprimió una de sus seis pinturas sobre la espalda de playeras blancas. Mientras vestía la playera y, acompañado de una ficha técnica, el artista o su asistente compartían el mismo espacio del arte establecido dentro de la galería o museo, esto permitía al público estar expuesto a una obra de arte desconocida como si fuera parte de la colección.  Esta intervención se registró con  fotografías y geolocalización.  También fueron compartidas a través de una plataforma de redes sociales llamada SWARM.
 
La exposición presenta hoy un registro de la Fase 1: playeras impresas; tarjetas de la exhibición; y la evidencia fotográfica de esta intervención.
 
Exposición Pirata: Fase 1 es una afrenta contra el sistema de arte para que los artistas tomen el control.
