more than momentary: ENJOY alters the typical path of artwork from studio to gallery to collector by offering voluntary participants the opportunity to borrow and spend extended time with the work BEFORE the exhibition. In the spirit of Lewis Hyde’s ideas about art as a gift, I offer this time with the work as a gift, as a way of opening up the possibilities for relating to the work in a way that is more than momentary. The choice of the wordENJOY in the title refers to the secondary meaning of the word: “to possess or benefit from.”
