Photographing Auctions, Auctioning photography



For this online exhibition, US photographer William Boling presented 'uncannily paired images' from US auction website, eBay, and it's New Zealand counterpart TradeMe. Toward's the end of the month project, Boling flipped the process again, re-auctioning prints of these works. Werkhaus worked with Boling and TradeMe, setting up accounts, promoting the sales via special text-ads, running the auctions both online and on-site at a gallery, and distributing the final works when they closed. Coverage on prominent blogs like Rhizome.org eventually resulted in Boling showing work at the New Museum, New York. View the Archive here
