in the project "HIC ET NUNC"
Contemporary Art Fair "PARTE", 2012
SÃO PAULO - BRAZIL
1_ NAME AND PURPOSE:
The "Grupo Interno Bruto" - GIB, invites visual artist's to participate in the project "Hinc et Nunc" in order to promote their artistic products. The project will give opportunity to artist's who are not represented by any of the commercial art galleries that will officially attend the "Contemporary Art Fair PARTE – 2012", between Oct. 17-21/2012 and held in the "Paço das Artes", University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.
The project "Hic et Nunc", presents itself as a collective proposal, by which various artists through a machine-type vending machine, will dispose their artwork (commonly found in public places, with high circulation of people, offering the alternative of buying fast products, most comestibles, through a automatic operation mechanism and by insertion of money).
The art works are allocated inside this machine, packed individually in envelopes of same size, color and shape (without any identification of the author or artwork stored). The machine will work as a mediator vehicle, between the public of the Fair, the artworks and the artists. The strategy focuses to provide and sell works of art, to a symbolic value, to art lovers and collectors, through a mechanism where the purchasing power does not prevai – but rather the desire to acquire a work of art. Trough this initiative, those who will wish, can start to collect small artworks.
