I...This may answer some questions and raise others.<br />In the 'Close up' report an Danes instructions were held up by the gallery curator, they read;<br />'INSTRUCTION FOR WORK<br />Retain all disposed and discarded packing material from the other works in the exhibition.<br />Leaving nothing out -include all bubble wrap, cardboard, plastic etc.<br />Pile all this material into a heap in the exhibition space.'<br />Then in smaller writing it read; <br />'This jpeg is not the work only an instruction in order that the work may be completed'<br /><br />This last sentence interested me as I know in the terms and conditions for entry into the competition item 6. says 'An image of the entry is to be submitted with the website entry form'<br />Could this be Danes 'image', and if so is that really sticking to the conditions of the competition?<br />Item 7.10 in the same entry conditions states;<br />'Art works can not be changed or added to once they have been submitted', thats pretty subjective in this case.<br />Item 7.2 'Employees of the Waikato Museum are not eligible to enter.' Maybe not, but allowed to make? <br /><br />Danes work has depth and smarts, and with a asking price of $5,250, if sold a brilliant profit margin, considering in money terms its cost him the $35 entry fee to produce.<br />I just hope he and the museum have played by the rules.Berniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08490782856639409031noreply@blogger.com
