Gifts create a bond that does not occur when we pay for goods. When a price is set, and we pay it the deal is done, we move on. Anything else seems counterintuitive in our thoroughly commodified society. What happens when we approach ways of having our needs met outside the regular market?
This exhibition is a gift for you. A feast for all who wants to receive it. Everything inside the gallery are potential gifts. For something to become a gift, someone must own it and choose to give it away. Follow the instructions on how to acquire the goods of the gallery, and receive unexpected gifts, join in on the giving, but never exchange goods. Make your own rules, see what happens. take advantage of the artist, bring stuff with you home, sell it as art, keep it, I don’t know.
I will provide food, wine, gifts, guidelines.
Before the doors open, there will be a gift circle inside the gallery. It will be broadcast live outside of Joy Forum from 16:00. Come by and listen.
