Sean Weisgerber's new series of wall drawings stem from his ongoing Price Per Square Inch series of paintings. At Open Studio, the artist will execute the first work in this series, Wall Drawing #1, using a price gun to place fluorescent pink price stickers in each square inch of the gallery walls' surface. Each sticker is marked with the date it was executed and its price, breaking down the CARFAC exhibition fee paid to the artist by Open Studio into 11,520 units.
