This exhibition takes its cue from a work by Wilfredo Prieto, “Tarta de cumpleaños (Birthday Cake)”. Made in 2009, the piece is constructed with a coin for the base of the cake, chewing gum for frosting and a match stick for a candle. Prieto’s work is an exemplar of immediate conception. The story goes that the artist wanted to get a birthday present for his beloved, but was broke at the time, though inspiration struck, and he put together a cake with a few simple items he had with him at hand.
Participants were given 24 hours to come up with a work for the exhibition: an inspired reaction to an issue that has been preoccupying them and is made from materials at hand in their studio or workspace.
