Take a look at this bird’s eye view of artist Stephen Truax’s<\/a> piece “Project Present”, a Secret Santa like game where art is traded. This piece took place last night at the #Rank<\/a> event, part of the\u00a0SEVEN<\/a> fair.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is the artist’s statement about the piece:<\/div>\n
“Project Present, 2010”, is a contemporary art trading game intended to highlight the purest transaction in the art world: the Artist Trade. While in the context of the highly consumer-and career-driven environment of the Miami art fairs, artists still have the ultimate way of hedging their bets and maintaining sincerity…<\/strong><\/div>\n

\n<\/strong><\/div>\n
How we assign value to works of art, both personally and financially, will become clear by the end of the game. Does this game sound familiar to you? Project Present’s close relationship with Secret Santa games is not unintentional. Lets not forget what the December art fairs are all about: holiday gifts!<\/strong><\/div>\n
