Abstract
ABSTRACT Contemporary art practices are often described as projects or processes. But when can we say that an art project or process is finished? How is it valued? Does it become a product? In this article, I will present a particular artwork, ‘The Artist and the Stone,’ that consisted in taking an artist and a 2 tone stone from Palestine to Barcelona, Spain. Through this example, I will explore the different temporalities of process, project, and product in contemporary art. My argument is that process, project and product are often contradictorily juxtaposed in an ongoing tension that is revelatory of a deeper contradiction between art as a form of value and art as a form of life.
