WILL PAPPENHEIMER
Often when artists make work, parts of their sculptures, paintings or
performances get separated or go by the wayside. This is an online collection
of such a "leftovers" from well-known artists works with some
careful guidelines that characterize the conditions of acquisition: objects,
materials and byproducts of an artwork, installation, performance or location
which become separated or left behind in the process of exhibition either
found or donated from the artists themselves. This archive constitutes
an important collection of artists' works through ephemeral materials
derived from fall away products generated at the boundaries of artwork
designation.
