Nice Boxes

CA$0.00

"Nice" Box features a single pre-exposed silk screen ready for print. Each unique screen features fragments of text from LMRM’s email response to being asked to “donate” the production and end result of 18 works of art to a permanent collection. LMRM laid out the math around the labor and material expenses involved in the proposition to confirm if they sincerely meant to ask two artists to donate almost $20,000 USD to a major institution that did not have the budget to pay artists themselves. "Nice" Box pokes fun at the unoriginality of such delusional entitlement in these inquiries, which may be met with equally reproducible answers. (This item is not for sale.)

This item was produced as part of The Institute of Making Space for Noncompetitve Looms Gift Shop, a collaboration between LMRM, Making Space, The Bureau of Noncompetitive Research, and The Institute of Institutional Critique. This semi-fictional gift shop is an exhibition at Whippersnapper Gallery (Toronto) as part of a programming series supported by Collective Collective. Read here to learn more.
