Jonas Lund

Jonas Lund
(°1984, SE)
Lives and works in Amsterdam, Netherlands and Berlin, Germany

creates paintings, sculpture, photography, websites and performances that critically reflect on contemporary networked systems and power structures. At the same time, he questions the mechanisms of the art world; he challenges the production process, authoritative power and art market practices. As Jonas Lund Token is a distributed, decentralized, and autonomous artistic practice. Each of the 100 000 shares is represented by a single Jonas Lund token and, similar to a corporation, each share counts as a vote in the decision-making process. The owners of the tokens are part of Jonas Lund’s advisory board and are therefore consulted every time a strategic decision needs to be made. If the market value of the artist increases as a result of these decisions, then the value of the tokens rise accordingly.
