Price and compensation
Every accepted drawing is offered for sale at a symbolic fixed price of €250. Artists receive €200 per sold work; the remaining €50 supports future exhibitions. The fixed price does not reflect market value but serves as a conceptual placeholder for art beyond economic hierarchies.
Process and anonymity
Anonymity is maintained until a work sells. Once sold, the drawing is removed from the wall and replaced with the artist's name and place of origin, creating a continually changing exhibition that becomes a processual artwork itself.
