Collection: Sunday Night (Impulse Buy), Selected By Cléa Massiani (online exhibition)

About the exhibition

As the title clearly states, this selection of works from 12 NIAD artists would be what I, Clea, would like to buy on any “fuck it, I want it“ kind of day. As curators, the biased or subjective factor is always present in the composition of an exhibition. Although taste and genre are often present and presented as core aspects of the curation process, the ownership aspirations of the work is not mentioned as nearly as, according to me, it should.

Following a conversation with Tim Buckwalter, Director of Exhibitions at NIAD, on successful sales platforms and high traffic, Sunday Night (Impulse Buy) refers to the last drive art lover's might get right before Monday morning hits.
