Hilary Knutson: Call for Submissions | installation
7 x 4 x 2 feet | The Instigation Station, drywall, plinth, track lighting, white paint, signs | 2006

For this exhibition, the "lockerness" of The Instigation Station is transformed into a "white cube" gallery where anyone is invited to have his or her own exhibition, with me as the curator. Inspired by Hans Obrist's Do It, Call for Submissions is a response to student apathy at ACAD that explores the idea of curator as artist/artist as curator and exploits both the context and authority of the "white cube". (Reference to Brian O'Doherty's book, Inside the White Cube: The Ideology of the Gallery Space)
