THE ESTATE OF MYOUR GAPE




About Myour and The Estate


Myour Gape is an artist and writer of unknown location working at the intersection of bio-logos, sextual ontology, and a deep sympathy for angiosperms. Gape’s practice explores fetish not in relation to any subcultures but in isolation, as a simultaneously natural and controlled, deeply intimate binding of idea and reality. A particular kind of personal bondage nourished in the co-extensive desires for total submission and absolute freedom.

Gape’s core genes consist of a logo-borne symbiotic viral vector (also known as ‘poetry’), whose unsupervised dispersion has rendered the physical and existential status of Myour Gape indeterminate. Consequently, for all legal intents and purposes, the artist is considered deceased. In response, The Estate of Myour Gape was founded in 2024 to protect and manage the legacy, rights, and works of the artist. With its founding, The Estate established Gape's name as an open trademark, allowing multiple Gape-positive individuals to practice under this name. The procedures for acquiring the trademark rights are outlined in The Estate's Charter, whose access is maintained public by The Estate. 

Intentionally devoid of a specific legal status, The Estate is defined as a literary and intellectual establishment by virtue of its Charter, which was first exhibited from September to November 2024 in Venice, Italy as part of Clemente Ciarocca’s exhibition ‘The Estate of Myour Gape’ and thus constitutes an original work of authorship. As such, The Estate is protected and governed by international copyright law determining the rights inherent to original creations and their authors.
