This exhibition presents work from artists whose practice requires active participation from the audience in order for their works to be realised. By doing so, these artists collapse the creation and the consumption of an artwork into the same, single act.

UNREASONABLE ADULTS

Gift/Back is a participatory live art and multi-media project that gives people an opportunity to provoke the artists by giving them the raw materials to create art. The hybrid performance/live art ensemble Unreasonable Adults calls for submissions and generous offers from a wide range of people everywhere in the form of ‘gifts’. The artists are then charged with the responsibility of using and responding to everything they receive. All gifts will be listed and archived on the company website for the whole world to see.


Unreasonable Adults intend to create work and generate ideas for new and varied spaces. The work is driven by a dedicated collective of artists with a strong sense of the solidarity in ensemble: working within an international cultural landscape and lineage of makers, thinkers and artists who are drawn to each other from various disciplines and backgrounds.
