Internships @ the Hub
Friday, August 13th, 2010Featured Project: Employee of the Day
Sunday, August 1st, 2010
If you have been to the Hub recently you might have seen these words hanging around on the walls, waiting for you to check them out:
Hi everybody!
Alex Cullen contacted me to participate in an art exhibition at the Hub around mid-August. Together with other artists, we decided to choose the topic of “enterprise”, which could bring in an interesting and suitable dialogue in The Hub. For my part of the work, I’m working on the notion of “the employee of the month”. For that purpose, and for those of you who would like to participate, I would need your picture, your name and your birth date. I will also ask to other fellow members to tell me 3 features about yourself, that could make you the employee of the day.
I will come to The Hub every day, and choose the employee of the day. By the end of the exhibition, all the portraits will occupy the wall… I will make an edition of each drawing that will be offered to those of you who participated, and the originals will be sold at 60€/unit.
Thanks for participating!
If you need more information, please contact me in: emilie.maidon@gmail.com
In order to investigate the project further, we asked Emilie for a sit-down and discussed her motivations.
Why The Hub?
Alex Cullen (Hub Host) got in touch with her after seeing an exhibition in a cafe in Brussels where she had made paintings of the place while people sat at the bar. Alex talked about an exhibition in The Hub based on the same concept: drawing people while working and talking in The Hub. However, from that first meeting, the exhibition concept has developed differently and has ended up being a collective exhibition where 3 artists, Emilie, Nicolas and Valentine; all of whom are working on artworks around the topic of ” enterprise”
What’s the main motivation?
The exhibition topic enterprise came out of several visits to The Hub, feeling that it was a “different office”, and brought up ideas very much related to the usual idea of capitalist enterprise that exists in peoples’ minds.
To get involved, please send an email along to Emilie: emilie.maidon@gmail.com
