“Thrift as a concept stems from the idea of vein in the nl and not having any other ideas nor money rather than going thrifting. You learn about people and customs, about your taste, about customer service and exhibition display.
When we leave a place, the art becomes something like a finished product, the process has come to an end by moving materials from one place to the next, by dissolving and creating an end to a place that has been giving. It also means leaving behind work, art, stories, encounters and we would like to give them a final stage and event. Join us for a day of sitting on benches and chairs in front of the garage, speculating about our future financial situations, exchanging our ideas on resources, and creating something new, if we like. Be aware the art you see here might be destroyed after, thrift it for a decent price, and be surprised by what you can learn from it. The prices are all within the expected frame of a garage sale. The quality of the work isn’t represented by the price of the work but rather by the factor of relief of not having the responsibility to move it safely, and by giving it to hands in which it might stay forever.”
