This exhibition by an international mix of artists invites visitors to steal their artworks. There will be no security in place during the exhibition period and the gallery will be open and unstaffed 24 hours a day. Visitors are free to take whatever artwork they like. With this in mind, one wonders, “What kind of artworks will the artists present knowing they can be stolen?” “What is the relationship between the viewers and the artworks?” This is an opportunity to reexamine art today when the pre-existing relationships of galleries and museums as protected spaces are broken down. Even if you have no interest in art, if your walls seem a bit lonely, or if you’ve just always wanted to be an art thief, come on by.
