Seeking Art Bargain Basement
Co-Prosperity Sphere is hosting Seeking Art Bargain Basement, a quasi-conceptual art sale just in time for the holidays. According to their website, "In a world of simultaneous surplus and exclusion, the Bargain Basement seeks to raise issues inherent in today's art market including the accessibility of art, the practice of limiting dispersal to drive up value, the economy of art objects (and art non-objects), the speculative nature of the art market, and whether there is a stigma for artists to exhibit or sell in certain venues."
In other words, strapped-for-cash-artists are seriously discounting their work, and those of us who are looking for unique Christmas gifts are in luck.
The Art Bargain Basement has hundreds of works by almost 50 local, national, and international artists, all for sale at $200 and under (with a lot in the $10-$75 range). The best part is that all proceeds from the sale go to the artists. The sale is open Saturdays from 1pm to 6pm or by appointment through December 19 at Co-Prosperity Sphere: 3219-21 S. Morgan St. Contact Ed Marszewski at edmarlumpen@gmail.com to make an appointment. Contact huimintsen@gmail.com for more information.
