"Secret Auction @ Kandada" Event
This event has ended.
At Project Space Kandada
Media: Painting, Sculpture, Fashion, Video installation, Art Party
Command N celebrates 10 years since its founding this year. Taking inspiration from the activities it has organized so far, this "Secret Auction @ Kandada" event aims to create a prime space and opportunity for audiences to encounter directly the art they love.
The auction allows viewers to take in the work on display while taking into consideration the prices that the artists themselves have suggested for each work. Viewers then bid for the works according to their own desired prices, which are not revealed. Only the winning bid will be announced at a later date.
Visitors can take their time to enjoy the work on display over 18 days from June 20th to July 19th, getting acquainted with the works and their suggested prices, trying their hand at coming to understand what it means to attach a price to an artwork and thinking about what value a piece of art possesses, monetary or otherwise.
This practice, where bonds between artist and artwork, artwork and viewer are constructed, while normally known as a silent auction, is called a "secret auction" at Kandada.
In conjunction with the auction, artists who have been involved with Command N projects, as well as next-generation young artists, will exhibit works in a wide variety of media - painting, sculpture, video, fashion, etc.
Opening party and artist talk: June 20th (Fri), doors open 18:30, talk starts 19:30
Live performance by Oragan-o-rounge
Great opportunity for visitors to meet exhibiting artists directly.
Let's shrink the distance between ourselves and the art!
