gothenburg exhibit
: : I don't know how I missed this when I was home, this was happening right in my hometown, Gothenburg!! check out the story on the .woostercollective."Eltono and Nuria, two of our favorite artists from Spain, just back from Gothenburg, Sweden where they had an exhibition called “Privé och público” (“Private and public”) at Galleri54.
We liked how it integrated the city of Gothenburg with the gallery. The artists put up 10 painted signs in Gothenburg with instructions on the back of them to bring the artworks back to the gallery for the opening. Like a puzzle, each piece fits into a larger work that Eltono and Nuria did on the walls of the gallery. At the end of the show, each piece wa signed and given back to the person who found it."
