The premise of this exhibition is an exchange of “art objects” between the participants of Cleopatra’s, a collaborative project and exhibition space located at 110 Meserole Avenue in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Starting on April 10th, Cleopatra’s founders Bridget Donahue, Bridget Finn, Kate McNamara and Erin Somerville will place four art objects, of their making, in the project space at John Connelly Presents. Each day an artist who has worked with Cleopatra's since it's inception in June 2008 will report to the Tunnel Room during gallery hours to install a new piece. In exchange for their object, the artist may take any one of the objects in the space on that given day. Daily trades will commence in the same order as the artist's initial participation with Cleopatra’s. Only one exchange will take place each day.
Please note: Visitors will have the fleeting opportunity to purchase any of the works on view. Funds collected will be pooled and shared equally among all participants.
Over the course of the show, installation photographs and a logbook will provide daily documentation.
