Purbrick | Trade
| Various mediums [2005]
On
a pedestal in the gallery, Purbrick has placed an object with an
accompanying instruction that the viewer should take what is on
the pedestal and replace it with something of theirs. A chain of
objects appears and disappears. With a single gesture, Purbrick
establishes a continuous process of exchange throughout the exhibition
that relies on participants both taking and giving in order for
the artist to receive a final item at the end.
