Extra Extra!
December 2011 to ongoing (Exhibition)
January 12, 2012 (next priority deadline) Anytime (rolling dates)
About the Exhibition/Experiment:
SpaceCamp MicroGallery has acquired an old newspaper box. Through this box we want to sell art. Books, modified/created newspapers, prints, CD/DVDs and small objects could all be displayed and sold in the box. We are especially interested in art that can be in multiples.
The highest price we can set is $3 and this is partially an exercise in trust, as all newspaper boxes are. Once someone puts in the required money, what stops them from taking all the newspapers (in this case art)? The box will be indoors in an arts building but it is open to the public and somewhat unmonitored, although there are cameras around.
Artwork that talks about media and/or trust is especially encouraged but art on any topic will be considered.
Eligibility:
Open to all artists worldwide. Work must not exceed 33 total inches (ie 10x11x12 or 16x13x4) and may not be more than 16x13 inches when laying flat.
