Luis Camnitzer

Luis Camnitzer included in Take Me (I'm Yours) curated by Jens Hoffmann, Hans Ulrich Obrist, and Kelly Taxter, at The Jewish Museum, New York.

The Jewish Museum presents Take Me (I'm Yours), a highly unconventional exhibition that encourages visitors to touch, interact with, and even take home works of art by a group of 42 international and intergenerational artists, many of whom are creating new and site-specific works for the exhibition. The exhibition aims to construct a democratic space for all visitors to participate in the creation and ownership of an artwork, thus commenting on the politics of value, consumerism, and hierarchical structures of the art market. Take Me (I'm Yours) encourages shared experiences and direct engagement with works of art, suggesting alternative ways that artists can live in, contribute to, and gain from society at large.

First mounted by curator Hans Ulrich Obrist and artist Christian Boltanksi in 1995 at the Serpentine Gallery, London, Take Me (I'm Yours) featured works by 12 artists that explored concepts of value and participation in the arts. More than 20 years later, Take Me (I'm Yours) at the Jewish Museum features an expanded roster of artists and projects specific to both New York City and an institution of art and Jewish culture, including several from the original exhibition. In addition, the Jewish Museum's installation marks the first time that Take Me (I'm Yours) is on view in a collecting institution, examining the role of museum collections by giving works away rather than holding them.
