ONLINE AUCTION
of two works that Stéphanie has made available. Half of the proceeds will be donated to a local aid organization in Lebanon and the other half will help P/////AKT and our artists with realizing their current and future projects.
ACT FOR LEBANON is an independent collective with no political affiliation. They are composed of artists, filmmakers, researchers, and cultural actors, formed in response to the urgent situation in Lebanon. Together, they are exploring concrete ways to raise public awareness and collect funds to support local associations helping displaced civilians, victims of the Israeli army’s bombings, in the face of the complete inaction of the Lebanese government. Your donations allow them to continue supporting associations in Lebanon, while organizing artistic and cultural actions in France.
Both works will be on display at our space from the opening onwards. The auction itself will be held on Instagram (@paktamsterdam) from 16 – 18 February, more information will follow soon. Please write us for more information in the meantime!
The auction is made possible by the generous support of Mertens Frames
It is…
involves writing the time using a performative system in which the time is inscribed following the path of the hour hand on an analogue clock and ultimately transforming the exhibition space into an interactive time-counting machine that engages the artist as well as the audience. Stéphanie Saadé will begin writing the time a few days before the opening, affixing each completed hour to the wall. Performances will continue on the opening day and throughout the exhibition, inviting the public as participants by writing the time, following a grid that encompasses the architectural features of P/////AKT.
Let us know if you’re interested to contribute, or simply drop by during opening hours! All it takes is a bit of focus and a steady hand for a minute or an hour… or as much time as you like. We will provide some drinks and snacks.
