Edition of 15 copies, “signed” on the first 11 pages with a text work of Chris Evans, drawn with adapted marker pen by Will Holder. In addition, a letterpress errata (written and printed by Will Holder at Woodside Press, Brooklyn) is inserted into each copy of the edition and signed and numbered by the artist. (sketches attached) Edition is presented inside of an embossed board slipcase.

The work of artist Chris Evans (1967, Eastrington, UK) evolves through conversation with people from various walks of life, selected in relation to their public position or symbolic role – resulting in sculptures, letters, drawings, film scripts and unwieldy social situations. These become indexes of a larger structure through which Evans deliberately confuses the roles of artist, collector, philanthropist, commissioner, art dealer and public funding body. Goofy Audit presents a monograph of an artist, whose works conspicuously speculate in the space where art meets patronage, be it private, corporate or political. It includes essays by Penelope Curtis, Marina Vishmidt and Tirdad Zolghadr as well as a form of notation by Will Holder for each individual work produced since 1996. The publication accompanies a traveling exhibition co-organized by Marres, Centre for Contemporary Culture, Maastricht; Objectif Exhibitions, Antwerp; and Kunsthalle Bern.
