Hello everyone, just thought I would leave you guys a reminder. Tomorrow, sunday feb 8th (12-5pm), is the closing event of the photo project present in MOMA, The Gift.
The show was part of The Art of Participation exhibit, where museum visitors were invited to get their portraits taken in a working photo studio in the galleries. Volunteers (including myself), would take the pictures of these strangers, edit, print and frame, all happening right there as the exhibit went on. I was there yesterday doing the final prints!
The closing event should be interesting since everyone who participated will be given a portrait of another random participant. Jochen Gerz, the conceptual artist behind it all says: "It is in art as in life: what you give is what you receive."
