On March 29, 2025, at 6:30 p.m., BUY OR BURN: Relics of the Future will take place at Brutus Garden during Rotterdam Art Week. L.A. Raeven will be participating in this unique event, where art, performance, and critical discourse collide in a radical rethinking of the traditional auction format. Loes Luca will serve as the auctioneer. The event challenges conventional value judgments in the art world.
BUY OR BURN goes beyond a typical auction, offering a conceptual confrontation with ideas of preservation, value, and cultural heritage. In a world where art is often viewed as an investment, this event invites the public to engage with the future of art. Unsold artworks will be destroyed before the audience, raising the question: what is art worth, and who decides?
The artworks will be displayed at Brutus on March 27, 28, and 29.
The live auction is by invitation, while the online auction is publicly accessible through a ticket link.
