vlad sent me a message about this show..i would love to do a vaiation of it..any ideas? interest?
A while back I was in a show called 5x5. It was actually 11 gallerys/spaces that each enlisted 11 artists to an edition of 11 pieces that were all 5x5. We all paid a $10 fee for postage and one of the edition was sent to each of the 10 other gallerys. In the end we had a show of 121 artists. The same show at 11 spaces all over the country! at the end the work was devided between the artists, a suit of 11 works each, all different!. The space I was at, we (the artists) decided to each pick one piece for ourselves, then have a silent auction of the 110 other works as a fund raiser for the art space.
Food for thought?
there was a similar show to benifit the artcenter here by my house...i think it was like 25 artist did an edition of like 25 pieces....all the same size then another artist made these little wooden boxes that each grouping fit into like a book ..they sold for $1000 a set. they were nice but the art was a little boring, and there wasnt much that tied the peices together, but i liked the idea.

Re: ideas??
Wed, December 29, 2004 - 3:23 PMThat's a great idea. I like the idea of interconnected art communities.
Wouldn't it be nice if the works were interconnected too? Some kinds of mediums might allow for that- letters, phone calls, e-mail messages... traveling performance-artists.
