ThE INCOMPLETE COLLECTION 2023
ATTEND THE GALLERY SHOW THAT COMES ALIVE
What exactly is in the collection you may ask? The answer: ideas.
A mysterious Curator invites you to her biggest event yet: The Incomplete Collection, where the art comes alive. The full gallery show takes place at Culture Lab LIC. But remember, what is on display here are no mere works of art but ideas - incomplete ideas to be precise - that are looking for just the right humans to complete them. Will you be one of the lucky few to get a chance to trade for these precious commodities? Will you become inspired yourself? Will you discover the secrets lurking at the heart of the collection and its mysterious Curator? Come unleash your inner artist and find out.
The Curator wishes to make clear that this gallery showing will be highly interactive. Your time in the gallery will also depend on what tier of ticket you buy and can last anywhere from 50 minutes to 2 hours. Please arrive at least 10 minutes early for your scheduled entry into the gallery, and note that if you arrive more than 5 minutes late, you may not be granted entry into the collection. For any questions or concerns about the content of the collection, feel free to contact the brokers at linkeddancetheatre@gmail.com.
