laodan discovered 23 months ago- The house of chaos via elpapacito-Metafilter, in The house of Chaos. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Thierry Ehrmann (b. 1962) is the 1997 founder and current chairman of the Serveur Group, which is a company that manages databases of art auction quotations. The group has about 400 employees and annual revenue of about 70 million Euros. The information is administered from the ArtPrice website, which is the legal and auctions interface to the group. Thierry Ehrmann was born in Lyon, France. He works from his house which is considered controversial. URL: The house of chaos (officiel site) URL: Abode of Chaos' photos.

Thierry Ehrmann set up a very profitable company living from its distribution of information about art auctions around the world and spends some of his gains on an art project that covers, yes, his home in Saint Romain au Mont d'Or, near Lyon, France. But his art initiative is not well accepted by the mayor of the village Mr. Pierre DUMONT who went to court against Mr. Ehrmann.... This legal affair is bringing Mr. Ehrmann much publicity and eventually a high valuation of his House of Chaos... Well, is this not what art is all about? This House of Chaos art project has something similar in nature with the Stains on Paper project I posted just before. I just see one enormous difference. The marketing: a single blog versus a legal battle... and the outcome could make a large difference, not in terms of artistic qualities (there is none to be found) but in terms of value, yes this inescapable value in dirty money that in late modernity determines what is art and what is not art in the public eye. Poor us.
