Jo'burg Art Bin

Facilitated by Empty Office (Landi Raubenheimer, Paul Cooper and Brendon Grey).  The tag line for this project is ‘Deprivatising contemporary art’ and the art collecting and buying public is invited to deposit art objects from their private collection into custom made bins at the Bag Factory between the 18th of July and the 2nd of August 2008.
A team of visual artists will then recycle the material dumped in the bins in order to generate a series of new artworks designed for the public realm.

The project launches at the Bag Factory on Friday the 4th of July where a number of key players in the visual arts industry will be invited to speak on the Joburg Art Bin concept.  Please join us for the launch on the 4th of July as well as for Art Dumping from the 18th of July.  The exhibition of remodelled works will be exhibited on the 8th of August at the Bag Factory.
