Admit One - Nothing, 2015 2nd | A |
| A digital file of an admission ticket (1240 × 620 pixels), designed in two versions by Michael Poulton as word art and as a prop in a potential installation/performance, where tickets are sold for admittance to an empty gallery, for a show titled NOTHING. The purchase of a ticket can be interpretated both as social comment and as a form of documentation. In order to not threaten the exhibited void with their physical presence, the tickets were sold outside the show and not in it. |
