Dots for Change
Dots for Change is an invitation for the public to transform Rosslyn Wythes’ large scale painting by taking a piece of the artwork for themselves to own. The painting will hang in a street front window of a few different locations in Saint-Gilles September/October 2021.
Join me for a one-on-one selection process at :
- Kami September 25 11:30h - 16h
- Centre Bernard Katsu October 3 14h - 18h
- Centre Bernard Katsu October 4 17h - 22h
- Centre Bernard Katsu October 10 14h - 18h
Starting September 7 you can find Dot for Change at Kami. You are welcome to come by and choose a part of this painting to own. It will then travel to Centre Bernard Katsu September 27 - October 11.
For the duration of this traveling installation the painting will slowly be dismantled and transformed, tracing the journey of a community’s consumption. From a whole work it becomes a sum of parts, held between by the Saint-Gilles’ community through co-ownership and co-existence in people’s homes.
Dots for Change is a proposition to make the purchase of an artwork more democratic, accessible and affordable for the public through co-ownership. The journey of Dots for Change, as a artwork will be shaped by the choice each participant.
If you'd like to make a selection in conversation with Rosslyn please reach out +32 478 13 03 54. The process of selection encourages reflection on how we make a decision and how it will affect past and future participants and co-owners of the work.
After you have made a selection your work will be cut out, be labelled, signed, mounted and delivered to your home at the conclusion of the exhibition - the end of October. Don't forgot to take a photo and tag @moving.line_ on instagram.
The entirety of the work is held between the maker, viewers and purchasers and in the end becomes a gesture towards solidarity; being together alone in our post Covid-19 world. The public’s transformation and dismantling of the work and will later be made into a time-lapse film, viewed on screens hung in the windows around Saint-Gilles.
Dots for Change is support by CultureCultuur.1060 - Commune de Saint-Gilles, Cunst-link, the Artist-Commons, Kami and Centre Bernard Katsu.
