Twice Removed Exhibition

Golden Age is soliciting individual pieces of take away artworks from personal collections for temporary loan during the length of the exhibition. Call for submissions here.

Exhibition statement:

Encountering the “take away” artwork, consisting of unlimited or large-run editions whose individual pieces are free for the taking, has become a common occurrence in contemporary art exhibitions. A strategy notably employed in Félix González-Torres’ “stack” works, the take away has been used by many other artists with a variety of intents and forms. The spirit of generosity, an exploration of dispersion and the attempt to circumvent the art market are just a few of the potential motivations cited for generating take away works.

Twice Removed aims to provide a venue where the multiplicity of meanings and post-exhibition life implied by the take away model can be considered by exhibiting single units of these works together.

The project will take form as an exhibition, website and pamphlet to be published by Golden Age at the conclusion of the show.

Let's Swap

Let's Swap - an experiment where artists and designers can trade their work for free.

How it works:

The featured artist proposes an item that s/he would like to swap. You (translation: anyone! no account is required!) propose a piece that you would like to swap in return. The featured artist selects which submissions s/he would like to accept.

Let's Swap is the brainchild of Hyperakt, an independent design studio in Brooklyn.
