Check out LAND’s Tribute to Ed Kienholz’s Watercolors (Barter Show) - opening next Tuesday April 10th 2012.
Originally presented at Eugenia Butler Gallery in 1969, the Barter Show consisted of a series of subtle watercolor washes on 12 x 16 inch paper, which Kienholz bartered for the sums, objects, or experiences painted on them. For this tribute, a group of contemporary artists, including Dike Blair, Zoe Crosher, Eve Fowler, Jonah Freeman, Anna Sew Hoy, Ellen Harvey, Justin Lowe, and Amanda Ross-Ho, among others, are commissioned to create works, following Kienholz’s guidelines, to be bartered at Barney’s Beanery. All works to be bartered will be on view at Perpetual Conceptual: Echoes of Eugenia Butler from March 28 to April 7, 2012. We encourage interested parties to visit the exhibition before the event to familiarize themselves with work for which they would like to barter. Additionally, interested parties are strongly encouraged to bring their barter objects to the event at Barney’s Beanery, and trade for the artwork on site, as participation in the tribute itself. Any remaining work will be on display at LAND’s exhibition space until April 21, 2012.
