The Dowse Art Museum invited Occupation: Artist to reprise All that glitters as part of their 50th anniversary Birthday Bash, a gala weekend of community creativity, music and play. We set up a Gold Leafing Station and put out a call for the public to bring along objects for us to transform.
The decision to gild an ordinary object challenges how we value objects, and contributes to the larger conversation about us, as collectors, artists and humans, and about value, prestige and ornamentation.
