Call: IEG seeks artworks for exchange themed exhibition
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Jurors: Lori Gordon and Jennifer Delos Reyes, Directors
In conjunction with the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art (SJICA), the Infinite Exchange Gallery (IEG) will participate in the upcoming ZERO1 biennial in 2008. This event will take place on June 6, 2008, from 6-11 pm. The festival will be closing down the street, to present an art street fair. Spaces along this street will be open late for the evening including Macla, Works, Anno Domini, the Quilt Museum and Space 47. For more information, visit the Zero1 website: 01sj.org.
IEG knows the value of art and believes that everyone should have access to it in their daily lives. It is in essence, an art market functioning outside of the 'art market' constraints. Located within this type of setting, the venue serves as a place where people can feel comfortable bargaining and trading.
Presenting works and services in exchange for non-monetary trades, artists determine what they feel the value of their work is and what they want in exchange for it. This agreement ensures the cooperative collaboration that manifests between the gallery representatives and the buyer. The viewers are thereby invited to swap and potentially even haggle in exchange for what they want.
Deadline for entries:

Exhibition event:
