thanks
this is the final call out
PRICELESS
A call for submissions
You are invited to donate artwork for this exhibition.
You can submit ANYTHING (a piece of your work whatever
it may be � a performance, a sound piece, a photograph
etc, something of value, something of no value) to
PRICELESS.
Is the art world becoming increasingly commercialised
to a degree where the art and the artist are left
behind in a whirl of agents, style gurus and corporate
whores? We invite you to cock a snook at this by
taking part in an exhibition where the only money
changing hands will be between the organisers and the
off-licence.
This exhibition examines our attitudes to current
trends in the contemporary art world, to the status of
the object, alongside monetary and personal value. Is
value granted to art works because of the prominence
of its creator? Are prices arbitrarily placed on it by
agent/ gallery to make a profit? Or can a works value
exist independently of these factors?
All work of art in PRICELESS are to be auctioned off
at the end of the exhibition to the highest bidder.
The catch is that no money will change hands. The
currency here is the personal value you feel the
bidder places on your work. Throughout the running of
the exhibition viewers will be asked to make a bid by
writing down WHY they feel they should receive the
work.
Any reason can be given, the only judge will be the
creator of that work, YOU . You will be asked at the
end of the exhibition to choose whom you feel most
deserves the piece from those who have bid. You can be
as arbitrary or as deliberate as you like in your
decision. You will go away at least knowing that your
piece will be in the hands of someone who values it.
Ovalproductions will charge 0% commission each work
disposed of in this manner.
