This month at Window, Atlanta based artist William Boling staged a
multi-part online project centering around auction sites. Boling
found, photographed and auctioned a series of objects from both eBay
and TradeMe: deer hooves and halloween masks, stockings and plastic
dolphins.
The artist has compiled documentation on these auctions into 10
limited edition signed books, which he'll be auctioning off over the
next few days. The catalogs include "reproductions of the documents
auctioned, screen captures from pertinent moments in the course of the
auctions and an appendix with other relevant transactional documents
such as correspondence between the artist and auction buyers".
*YOU AIN'T WRONG CATALOG*, Closes: Sat, 1 Sep
