Every year, thousands of visitors coming to the Fotanian Open Studios link up groups of studios with their visiting routes, and visualise their own open day landscape with their ways of seeing things. In recent years, many open studios no longer show their space in its working status. Instead, they make themselves clean and tidy to receive more guests and satisfy the preference of visitors. Finished... works are properly hung on the wall, waiting for appreciation and photo-taking. This change has brought the open studios closer to traditional gallery spaces, gradually transforming the event of Fotanian Open Studios.
Taking part in the “Fotanian Open Studios 2011”, Rental United will present their first group show, “EXHIBITION”. There will be a white cube resembling the structure of a gallery space, artworks carefully displayed in the homogenous space, and artists as motionless “body sculpture” for everyone’s appreciation. We will try our best to offer you as many choices as possible, and you will be free to choose what you would like to see. We hope that such an overexposure will make your visit enjoyable, give you lots of chances to take pictures, and more importantly, allow you to forget the fact that you are visiting an industrial building and what you expect to see after your long trip travelling here. So, are you satisfied?
