Collection as Allocated Objects
Tidens Krav & Sverre Gullesen

Ten participants have been selected, and ten artworks will be collected. The participants will put out, then put in, and fold back on and into themselves, creating a void wherein the law of ten-fold return becomes a manageable speculative spectacle that does not rely on karmic-, communal-, or non-profit work, but rather on charade, aggression factor, and ten pairs of sweaty palms, and ten sets of moisty pits. On the rims of an oval shaped meditation circle the participants are forced to assess their refined sensitivity for human psychology, their discipline and ability to do mathematics – and most importantly – their understanding of risk vs. reward.
