anonymous gallery recently opened a group exhibition at its Mexico City location titled, Casa de Empeño (HOUSE OF PAWN). The show is a group exhibition based conceptually on the function of a pawnshop and serves to examine current systems of economy, currency and exchange. In New York during Armory Arts Week, anonymous gallery will again re-examine a similar concept; providing unique opportunities for collectors to purchase distinctive works of art through sale, loan or even trade. However, taking the concept one step further, the gallery will literally be creating a house of pawn. Using a 24ft 1964 Vintage Airstream trailer, anonymous gallery has re-constructed the original mobile-home interior to serve a retail purpose; stocking it full of distinctive art objects. Throughout the week, this house of pawn will be traveling to various Armory Art Week locations and will open its doors to customers who seek a unique experience.
