Art Really Can Change Your Life! from The Pink Line Project on Vimeo.

"For one week, artist Agnes Bolt moved into the home of the very sociable and curious Philippa Hughes to playfully explore the dynamics between an artist and an art collector. With a naive optimism and subtle social critique the project manifested itself with a large obtrusive structure situated within Philippa’s home in which the artist lived.

The presence of the artist was impossible to ignore. A series of rules, exercises, communication systems, and bonding experiences dictated the interactions between the two and video cameras were given to both parties. Both were required to follow the rules but mischief and expectations of an open spirited dynamic was highly encouraged.

The project tried to conflate the traditional role of the artist as producer and the collector as consumer to create an experience that both can take part in, react to, and fully engage. Both can take ownership of the results of the time spent together and a furthering of the conversation about art’s impact in the world can be examined."
