ANONYMOUS DRAWINGS: How does one’s own assessment change if there is no information at all about the artist? How can one develop a personal definition of value if the sales prices are all identical? What is then a good drawing? ANONYMOUS DRAWINGS is conceptual art and exhibition project all in one. With ANONYMOUS DRAWINGS many single pieces of art become one “Gesamtkunstwerk”. Each and every anonymous artist becomes part of a collective work of art where hierarchies do not exist.

All the drawings are available for a symbolic unit sales-price of € 200 each. The artist’s identity can only be revealed by a sale: the buyer takes the drawing right off the wall and the empty space left behind will be marked with the artist’s full name and place of origin. The given unit sales price should not be seen as a real market price, but as a conceptual place holder for any conceivable amount of money in the art market.

The exhibition was preceded by an international, open call for submissions. There were no guidelines regarding theme or style. There was only one formal rule: the exhibited drawings should be no larger than A3. The artist’s biography, gender or age did not play any role in the selection. The selection for the exhibition has been made anonymously, too.

All drawings are available for a unit sales-price of € 200 each. On site in the gallery. (cash only)Online-sale of all exhibited works 12 – 18 Oktober: www.anonyme-zeichner.de.

From more than 2000 submissions 600 drawings were selected for the show. ANONYMOUS DRAWINGS was founded 2006 by the artist Anke Becker in Berlin, Germany. Since then, more than 8000 artists from all over the world have taken part in the project and numerous shows of ANONYMOUS DRAWINGS took place up until today.

We got back yesterday night and, after a long drive chitchatting and brainstorming, we can firmly state that Bologna and Set Up never let you down!
The Fair (Third Edition) has considerably improved. The cultural program was very extensive and matched the seemingly rich offer from galleries and special projects… our favorite one? Maria Lucrezia Schiavarelli’s Nutrice (Cradle) – we will have the chance to further talk about this later…
This year marked also the birth of Set Up Plus, a combination of side events and exhibitions in partnership with Set Up Art Fair as a great opportunity to spend Saturday night strolling from show to show… allowing also for a little break to taste authentic Bolognese cooking!
Wandering around Bologna, we had the good chance to meet Zed1 and his work at Spazio San Giorgio gallery, as well as Sissi’s works around the city.
On Sunday, we presented our lecture Seeds of Identity in the context of Art Mise en Place, curated by Martina Liverani. Among our guests we had artist MariaLucrezia Schiavarelli and Rosanna Figna (Ricerca e Sviluppo Agugiaro & Figna), who discussed about the theme of cultural identity based on food and especially the importance of cereals as nutritional elements and cradle of civilization. The lecture developed directly from Maria Lucrezia Schiavarelli’s work Nutrice (Cradle), an amazing work made up of colored hand-sewn cloths and frameworks portraying astronomical, astrological, and mythological symbols.
Finally, we spent a long afternoon looking for all the works at the bus station… among our favorite ones? The works and installations presented by Panem et Circenses, Antonello Ghezzi, Raul, Monica Maggi, Michele Fattori, Uno, Stefano W. Pasquini, Zino, Sponge Arte Contemporanea, Print About Me, Van Der, Augusto di Giorgio Donini’s performance “Il pane” (Bread), and many more…
Once again, Set Up and Bologna left us with eyes filled with images and aching legs!
Among Bologna’s musts (as many of you probably already know) the Archiginnasio and the Anatomical Theatre!
Here are some pictures from our trip for you…
Next TripBlog coming soon!
