anonymous drawings / concept and idea A selection of about 600 drawings by international artists will be presented anonymously. The general exhibition preparation starts with an international call to participate on the Internet. No demands are being made; age, biography or heritage of the originator do not play any role for the selection. The artist's anonymity can be lifted by means of purchasing a drawing for the symbolic unit salesprice of 150 EUR. The buyer can take his drawing right off the wall and s/he is then told the name of its author. The empty space the drawing leaves behind will be marked with the artist‘s full name. The given unit salesprice should not be seen as a real market price, but as a placeholder for any conceivable amount of money. Because the works are from both established artists and laymen, it is expected from the viewer to draw his own line between art and not-art. Common, art specific mechanisms like the importance of an artists` ego, price formation or prepared qualities which can be refered to a specific art context, should be reversed in this exhibition in an experimental way: the artists engage themselves to put their own person into the background for the benefit of the actual product, their artistic work. bluetenweiss reserves the right to choose which works will be exhibited; our priorities, however, are formal and content variety. The artists receive 100 EUR of the sale-price. The other 50 EUR will be used by blütenweiss exclusively for the realization of further Anonymous shows and projects. Unsold drawings will be archived or returned to the artists. Through all Anonymous Drawings exhibitions since 2006, an Archive of around 600 selected drawings is arisen. The archive can be shown in the context of traveling exhibitions. blütenweiss publishes a booklet (black/white - 100 pages, limited edition) showing a selection of 100 anonymous works, for each Anonymous Drawings exhibit which is available during the exhibition time and online at the blütenweiss-shop.
