NOTIZEN #4
Art and Artists in Times of Social Distancing

First things first. We are aware of the fact that a lot of different countries and groups of people are affected far worse than artists and ourselves.

This is an idea to support the situation of a group of people who contribute abstraction and thoughts to us, to our society, either joyfully or critically.

To support the beautiful fact of having art and artists surrounding us now and after this period, we would like to connect people with already finished works that are not being presented at the moment or only in an ever scarcer way.

Our initial approach is to bring artworks to you or your home office for a lease that directly goes to the respective artist on a monthly basis for the period of the lease. This should be done within each city limit. On one hand to limit operational complexity and on the other hand to limit national traffic.

Any open feedback on how we can do this in a virus averse way while still reaching out to as many interested supporters as possible of this action is very welcome. Then, as there shall not be reductions to the lease as this shall reach the artists in full, we are still aiming at ideas of how to keep everything as simple as possible…

We will start in Berlin, Leipzig, Nürnberg and Munich.

To be continued…
