FREE KUNST
Candice Breitz


 

Free Kunst, Candice Breitz
Collage: Eric Pratter

FREE Kunst is located at the border between the museum and public space. Two conspicuous banners in the signal colors of red and yellow mark the facade of the O.K. FREE KUNST. Their purpose is to occupy a place where, behind the graphite-gray opaque facade, art is "at home".
The message is addressed to the general public, to people who do not necessarily visit the museum. On the one hand, it is a call for action, on the other a cheap attempt to attract attention and also an observation on the status of contemporary art in society.
Although Candice Breitz alludes to the medium of the billboard, FREE KUNST is only contingently comparable with artistic billboard actions in public space. It refers directly to the status of the O.K and attains an additional significance within the exhibition project Open House.


Candice Breitz, born in 1972 in Johannesburg, was presented at the O.K in 2001 with the exhibition CUTTINGS.
