Opening Reception | Cynthia Daignault's Das Tauschregal: Objects and Their Painted Representations

Wednesday, May 7, 2014, 6:00 pm to 8:03 pm

Free

Das Tauschregal is an experiment in participatory economics. Daignault sent an open call asking viewers to trade "objects of value" for paintings. Thirty-one participants were chosen anonymously and each agreed to trade one object for its painted representation.

All thirty-one objects will be displayed on a shelf beginning on the first day of May. Each subsequent day, one painting will replace the object it depicts. At the end of the month, the shelf will hold only paintings, exchanging concrete commodity for abstract representation, as in currency. Das Tauschregal suggests an alternative art market, exploring the notions of value independent of price (meaning, sentiment, aesthetics, formalism, power, influence and beauty).

Cynthia Daignault was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and currently lives in New York. Her work was featured in a solo show at White Columns in 2011.
