FOR SALE – A can of art gallery!!

This can is specially signed and numbered for this eBay auction.
The can contains 3 core samples of gallery wall, rich with sedimented cultural value and preserved in mineral oil.

San-Francisco based art collective REBAR recently canned the walls of the Southern Exposure art gallery, one of the most famous public art galleries on the West Coast!

After 32 years in the same industrial space (which used to house the American Can Manufacturing Company), Southern Exposure has closed its doors for seismic retrofitting. But before they shut the doors, REBAR created its EnCanment project - a temporary canning operation that harvested, processed and canned the gallery itself.

REBAR systematically mapped and cored sections of the gallery wall and, utilizing the latest in industrial assembly-line technology, canned the cores in metal cans on-site.

Now, and for a limited time, you, the art consumer, can own actual pieces of gallery wall, processed and canned in a tin can!

At REBAR, we know you have a choice when it comes to canned gallery space. That’s why we harvested only the choicest sections of the Southern Exposure gallery wall.

**Our patented wall-mapping process guarantees that our canned gallery is the Best Quality Available™ on the market today. **

To ensure your canned gallery space is the highest quality, choose Rebar brand Southern Exposure! Don’t be left without canned culture!

A can of gallery is the perfect addition to the home earthquake/disaster kit.
