About Art-To-Go

In today's world, a world, where everything is accelerated, „velocity“ has become a social value.
Instead of writing a letter, we send SMS.
Instead of cooking, we buy fast food.
Instead of visiting a Museum, we recieve art at the drive-in.
We recieve art at the drive-in?
Yes.
In making our project, we try to carry the phenomenon of „velocity“ to extremes.
Instead of decelerating, we accelerate.
The communication between gallery owner and client is reduced to the minimum.
The artwork is given away.
The payment process is removed.
It is up to the new owner to determine the value of the recieved artwork.
The result is food for thought.
Is it time for a step backwards?

Our concept is to collect artworks, created by artists from all over the world and to give them away at a "drive-in" to carry the phenomenon of „velocity“ to extremes and to animate a rethinking of the current situation.

"Art-To-Go" takes place at the Perffusion Art Festival 2011 in Strasbourg, France.
