Synopsis:

Got Your Name Or Not? is a participatory art project inviting one and all to be an artist.

A cement is a binder, a substance used for construction that sets, hardens and adheres to other materials, binding them together. Cement is seldom used on its own, but rather to bind sand and gravel (aggregate) together.

Can there be an altruistic model of art-making where everyone is an artist, and the work belongs to everybody?

The Artists Company aims to do this by exploring the relationship between art and labour. Got Your Name or Not? will employ expedient means to capture time as currency, labour as art. Here, artist's individuality, style and ownership are temporarily put aside.

The process-based art making will happen collaboratively over SEVEN DAYS of art making session, and clock in 49 HOURS. The final artworks will be exhibited from 21-26 May.
