Trendbeheer @ Art Amsterdam 2011
For The Love Of Money I
Suzanne Biederberg Gallery
Sacha de Boer
*Sold*
A site-specific exhibition performance by Jeroen Bosch, Jeroen Jongeleen and myself as part of Trendbeheer’s ongoing Trendbeheer presenteert exhibition series.
Potrait of an art fair in 150 sales. During the 5 days of Art Amsterdam 2011 we documented ‘every’ sale made by photographing the red sales stickers. In every picture we would center the red dot and scale it it to 8 mm (the standard size of the red sticker), give it a title (included in every picture), print it, frame it and hang it in our booth. At the start of the fair our booth was empty (except for a grid of 300 screws) and by the end of the fair the installation was complete.
The framed photographs are also for sale (edition of 1). During the fair 79 pieces were sold. For a list of all the works see: Trendbeheer.com/2011/05/23/for-the-love-of-money-de-werken-2/
