"Avignon loves the obscure"
"Avignon loves the obscure. Humanoid pills wink at you, hearts
shed tears, telephones tell strange stories. Avignon's grinning winners
and desperate losers are awkward, angular and jerky ... For him the production
is more important than the piece. And so the first day of the exhibition
already signifies the end of the artist's work. Towards the close a young
woman is sitting apathetically in a corner of the empty gallery, clutching
a hard-won painting. Life goes on noisily about her. A compliment to the
artist."
Berliner Zeitung
"Light-years removed from traditional art business"
"Today only the artist can reflect on the future without regrets.
And who could be more suitable to do this than Jim Avignon, the
specialist for exuberant spatial installations and trail-blazing
marketing strategies. The world has him to thank for introducing speed
into art. He is light-years removed from the traditional art business and
would rather have his exhibitions torn to pieces by the public than conform
to established requirements."
