Silver Ticket Project: Help Wanted
Saturday Nov 21st, 7-10pm
With unemployment numbers at 8.8% in New York City and topping 9% nationally, laid off workers are turning to their passions to find more meaningful work. Artist Erik Fabian wants to help, and luckily the Silver Ticket Project is hiring!
Join Erik Fabian, at the Open Space Gallery on Saturday, November 21st, from 7-10pm, for a performance constructed and delivered by fully paid labor. Erik asks the audience to consider the value of artistic labor in the midst of a once-in-a-lifetime economic crisis.
Erik Fabian is an artist working in performance, installation and conceptual art. For several years, in anticipation of the current economic crisis, Erik has been presenting work that explores notions of value; how we value art and the experience of performance; and how the perception of value changes during inflationary monetary periods. The Silver Ticket Project pair performances with simple commodities (like silver bullion) within marketplace environments in an attempt to establish a rational price for performance art. Erik is a graduate of the Master of Fine Arts program at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
