On Friday July 2 at 11:30 the drawing of the Opening lottery will take place at the Musée Régional d’Art Contemporain Languedoc-Rousillon. The prints are on sale until Thursday at Galerie Xippas, Paris, Tijuana - Galeria Vermelho in São Paulo and online. They will remain on sale at the museum until 30 minutes before the drawing.

Opening is a new kind of catalog, one that that is able to present the works themselves and does not refer to a previous exhibition situation. It is the result of two years of research.

It is funded, distributed and sold through an edition of prints. These are available for 55 euros each. With the money from the sale of the prints an edition of books is made. The book are then given out in a lottery to some of the buyers of the prints. The more prints are sold, the more books that get made and the bigger the chances for each participant.

Opening has been featured at the Finnish Museum of Photography, Galerie Xippas, Salon Light/SP at Galeria Vermelho, Koh-i-noor and the catalog of Ange Leccia et Le Pavillon at Musée Bourdelle.

A new exhibition of the project Opening opens on Thursday April 15 in Koh-i-noor in Copenhagen.

Dybbølsgade 60, Copenhagen, 15/04/2010, 17:00-20:00.
