proudly present Dawn Nilo
as a finalist for the Swiss Art Awards 2020 in her first international solo exhibition
In “Performing Negotiations”, the artist Dawn Nilo invites you to enter into the creative and conceptual game of negotiating the terms and agreements of buying selling and performing art. Set within one of our in situ or online galleries, everything is for sale: performances, ideas, images, videos, photographs, prints, sculptures, carpets, tables, chairs, pens, the soul or anything else. Between a staging ground for an absurd self-reflective play, and an honest sales negotiation, "Performing Negotiations" is a game of anything (that can be negotiated) goes.
This unique opportunity offers anyone, for a limited time and within the frame of the exhibition, the opportunity to become a collector through Monk Contemporary and any of our affiliates. As the act of performing negotiations becomes a performance in itself, we will explore together with the artist and our collectors, the challenges and possibilities of creating value within and "without" the art market. We consider this not only a game, but a game changer, as the rules can and will be temporarily broken and created in this absurd research lab. The reality lies in the fact that at first, anything is possible, but once a deal is made, it defines the work and sets possible conditions and protocols for the future.
