"Gifting Abstraction" Exhibition
Soho20 Chelsea Gallery
This event has ended.
Gifting Abstraction establishes an intimate economy within Soho20Chelsea gallery in which abstract objects have not yet turned into objectified commodities. The gift economy paradigm recognizes that there is value outside market forces, and that the gift renders forces and riches of its own. One of the perplexing aspects of the gift is that while its effect cannot be quantified, its intention is
generally palpable: at its best, the gift generates a sense of interconnectedness. In this exhibition, artists' labor stretches beyond the works themselves, as connective lines are symbolically rendered through the gifting process onto a relational dimension.
