Monk Contemporary, Wil Aballe Art Projects, HVERFISGALLERÍ, Galerie Felix Frachon, and a.antonopoulou.art proudly present Dawn Nilo as a finalist for the Swiss Art Awards 2020 in her first international solo exhibition.
In “Performing Negotiations”, the artist Dawn Nilo invites you to enter into the creative and conceptual game of negotiating the terms and agreements of buying selling and performing art. Set within one of our in situ or online galleries, everything is for sale: performances, ideas, images, videos, photographs, prints, sculptures, carpets, tables, chairs, pens, the soul or anything else. Between a staging ground for an absurd self-reflective play, and an honest sales negotiation, "Performing Negotiations" is a game of anything (that can be negotiated) goes.
This unique opportunity offers anyone, for a limited time and within the frame of the exhibition, the opportunity to become a collector through Monk Contemporary and any of our affiliates. As the act of performing negotiations becomes a performance in itself, we will explore together with the artist and our collectors, the challenges and possibilities of creating value within and "without" the art market. We consider this not only a game, but a game changer, as the rules can and will be temporarily broken and created in this absurd research lab. The reality lies in the fact that at first, anything is possible, but once a deal is made, it defines the work and sets possible conditions and protocols for the future.

Dawn Nilo. A Stable of Jockeys. Swiss Art Awards 2020.
2013–2020
Between 2013 and 2020 we collaborated with 35 artist and curators on exhibitions and projects in our Kitchen in Arlesheim, Switzerland.
The Kitchen Aufderhoehe was the shared artistic and curatorial practice of Dawn and Johannes Nilo. We held exhibitions and events at our Aufderhöhe 12 apertment in Arlesheim, Switzerland, with a focus on the continual transformation of private living and working spaces into intimate public domains.
In the summer of 2020 we decentralized our exhibition practice and moved our working site to a studio in Basel and started Monk Contemporary.
