You Will Be Rare This project is based on the idea of economy: we as a team decided that we really wanted to see if we mattered. We will find this out is by seeing if we can affect the common value of something. The easiest way to do this in our eyes, is to get into the collectors markets especially comics, rare figures, and all round geek stuff which is something the whole team seems to know a lot about. So here's the deal: we are buying vintage action figures that are not very high priced to begin with, and gradually buy more and more of exactly them (with the goal of owning most of them that exist) at whatever price we can, which as we continue should in essence, make it rare. The idea is kind of like that Banana Man episode where his nemesis stops Banana Man by buying all the bananas. Whether this will work or not remains to be seen but having already started, were not doing too badly. Keep an eye on twitter to find out how we're getting on. If you're in Bristol on 27th-28th March come and see us at the Arnolfini as part of BLOP. Alternativlely catch us at the Junction on the 1st and 2nd May as part of Live Art Sampled or in Ipswich for Pulse Fringe Festival on July 9th-11th 2010. |
