GET FREE % AT GOLDEN PARACHUTES IN BERLIN

Get Free %
Featuring works by Gert-Jan Akerboom, John Hitchcock, David Horvitz, Steve Lambert, Little Friends of Printmaking, Jaybo Monk, Tar Art Rat, and Cassie Thornton.
October 1st - October 30th, 2009
Vernissage: October 1st, 7-10pm

Golden Parachutes is pleased to present Get Free %, group exhibition that experiments with applying alternative modes of economic exchange to a fine arts context.

Get Free % is a platform to explore the commodity status of fine art and how disrupting this balance affects ideas surrounding comfort and value, as well as a practical call for artists and cultural producers to envision creative solutions for commodity exchange in a rapidly changing world.

All artwork will be for sale, but cash will not be accepted. Instead, each artist has determined a barter that they will accept in exchange for their work. This can be anything from a practical work exchange or conceptual action to a material necessity (or frivolity).

All works in the show are available through non-monetary exchanges. My work will be available for the knowledge of how to cook a tasty meal in Berlin. You will take me to a market (German, Turkish, any...) and show me what ingredients are needed, how to cook with the collected ingredients, and lastly, you will eat the resulting meal with me.
