To Market To Market is an exuberant and playful look at the concept of marketing as it relates to the production and display of artwork. Organized by guest curator Robin Kahn, this exhibition creates a forum in which artists can explore interactive strategies to attract their public and provides opportunities for them to directly barter or sell work to gallery visitors.
Using the traditional art fair as a model, To Market To Market gives artists license to indulge in unapologetic self-promotion. Artists will be on hand marketing their wares - whether artistic products, promotional items or simply their personas. In addition to free give-aways and visitors will be able to purchase artwork and ephemera ranging from $1-$100. Laying claim to the viewer's attention with refreshing directness, individual flair, and still-unjaded irony, the "exhibits" in To Market To Market will include film installations, live music performances, haunted houses on the market, and a tour of Brooklyn's outsider artists.
Every Saturday artists will make live personal appearances in the Gallery. Artists featured in the exhibition include: Katrin Asbury, Michael Ballou, Julia Chiang, Ian Cooper/Rachel Foullon, Brian Dewan, The E Team (Daniel Seiple, Hajoe Moderegger, Franziska Lamprecht) with Michael Smith, Shawn Greene, Jeffry Hill, A. Clayton Lazar, Christina Mazzalupo, Larry Racioppo, Alexander Fraser Robbins, and Sophie Spar.
