The work 'Use' delay 'instead of picture or painting' by Thierry Geoffroy / Colonel, is a painting of the Facebook fan page, which was created and managed by the artist in 2009. With reference to the artist Marcel Duchamp, who in his works refers to be 'In advance of a broken arm' he further processes Duchamps readymade. Since the 1990s, TG has challenged art history with questions such as: What is the role of the artist? TG interprets and processes the history of art in his work and focuses on the artist's responsibility, by being 'in time'.

Throughout his career, TG has, among other things, created the concept 'Emergency Room' together with 'The Delay Museum' '(2003), and his works are about time and' awareness'. TG has i.a. exhibited at MOMA / PS1 (NY) and ZKM museum and Moderna Museet and is represented at numerous collections in Denmark and abroad.
