Brief Concept
This exhibition tests the boundaries between exhibiting art and art practice. The three-act event starts as a traditional exhibition, progresses to an ongoing alteration of the featured artworks by the other artists, and culminates in a show of the final art pieces accompanied by video, photo and text documentation of their evolution. In this project, each artist starts by creating a work of his/her own and goes on to study, interfere, change, resist, and overthrow the works of the other artists during the first month of the exhibition. The process of this cross-interference takes place over the course of three happenings, which are all open to the public. The work provokes discussion on the changeable, continuous and classical nature of art exhibitions, individual willpower and adaptability of an artist as well as questions the idea of the absolute in art. This will be a unique exhibition-going, art-viewing experience for all audiences.

Exhibition Rules
* Each participating artist must present an independent and complete artwork for the first opening on May 7. These works will be exhibited in their unaltered state until May 13.
* When artists begin to change each other's work, each artist forfeits ownership to his/her own artwork.
* Each artist must change at least one work in the exhibition during the course of the month.
* All the changes made to the featured artworks must take place within 24 hours on the three designated dates: May 14 (Saturday), May 21 (Sat), and May 28 (Sat). These three openings are advertised and open to the public.
* The last opening is scheduled on June 4. The final results from all the previous changes and all documentations in the form of video, photography and text will be on display.
