Concept
A selection of about 250 A4 works on paper by international artists will be presented anonymously at the former night cafe de Diepte. The important thing is that the works are original works on A4 paper (no objects). The exhibition Artistes Anonymes en Abîme will take place during the weekend of 15, 16, and the 17th of May. There are no specifications regarding the content of the works.
The artist's anonymity can be lifted by means of purchasing a drawing for the symbolic unit sales price of 120 EUR. For every work that is sold the artist receives 100 EUR. The other twenty euros are reserved for the financing of the project.
The buyer can take his drawing right off the wall and s/he is then told the name of its author. A place marked with the artist‘s full name is left behind on the Diepte’s infamous walls.
The predefined unit sales price of 120 EUR is not to be understood as a real market price but rather as a placeholder for any possible amount of money. The exhibited drawings will be work of both established and lay-artists. Typical mechanisms of the art-market, like pricing, the artist's own ego, and predefined concepts of quality are turned upside down and questioned in an experimental way. The participating artists agree to withdraw themselves and their usual pricing in favor of the subject: the work
