As media partners for Art Expo Malaysia 2009, ARTERI is getting a booth at the art fair all to ourselves. It’ll be our HQ where we’ll be doing live coverage of the fair, as well as house our special project: Suitcase of Stuff!
So what is it? Think of it as an experimental exhibition, art garage sale, and lost luggage depot. We’re inviting artists and creative types to each contribute a suitcase filled with art objects, curiosities and mementos.
Little or large, empty or full, open or closed - this is your chance to play traveling salesman/woman, just as Marcel Duchamp did with Boîte-en-valise (1934 -41) - a neat briefcase packed with miniature versions of his famous works. The audience at Art Expo Malaysia is sure to come from all walks of life - submit a suitcase that will entertain, confuse and tempt viewers to take some of your baggage home with them.
Interested? Excited? Here’s all you need to know:
1. Just like airlines these days, our cabin/booth is only going to hold so much. Weight and dimensions of your suitcase should be restricted to standard check-in luggage. That means:
Weight: Max. 15kg
Size: 100 x 70 x 50cm
2. Erh, it also goes without saying that certain items are not allowed in your luggage such as: poisonous pets, artillery, weapons, explosives, biological and/or radioactive material, etc.
3. Other than that (and other commonsense disclaimers), the shape of your suitcase and how you choose to fill it is completely up to you.
4. Because we need all the visibility and love we can get, a luggage tag with ARTERI and http://www.facebook.com/l/
5. You can sell your suitcase or anything in it. Interested buyers will negotiate directly with you. ARTERI will not charge a fee or take a formal commission (cos’ we’re not dealers, yo!), but we will gratefully accept donations and gifts if your stuff happens to be very laku. The amount is up to you. No guilt and no obligations. ARTERI is not receiving any fee from Art Expo Malaysia - other than the free booth, this is a D.I.Y. effort.
6. We will probably limit the total number of suitcases to 30.
If you want a slot, email your name and contact number ASAP to:
arteri DOT malaysia AT gmail DOT com.
Deadline for submission: 15 Oct 2009.
Once you confirm your participation, we’ll let you know how to check-in your luggage with us.
ART EXPO MALAYSIA 2009 will take place 19 - 23 Nov 2009 at MATRADE Exhibition and Convention Center. For more info, visit http://www.facebook.com/l/
