BMW and Frieze have a new artistic initiative, which premiere will be at Frieze London 2017. BMW Open Work by Frieze brings together art, design and technology in pioneering multi-platform formats. The artist, who will create the first BMW Open Work, is New York-based artist Olivia Erlanger.
The BMW Open Work concept
In 1962 the philosopher Umberto Eco wrote an essay called ‘The Open Work’, frieze.com explains. He argued that not all artworks had a definitive meaning. Some artists might embrace the idea of ‘openness’, leaving certain elements of the artwork to chance. Or to be completed by the audience. Meanings could be multiple, the conversation could always have an open end.
