What is the alternative?

Embroidery (38x20cm) with instruction.
Made on the occation of an art-auction at Bergen Ateliergruppe, and as a part of B-open 2012.

The embroidery was offered for "reverse" bidding. Making a bid did not imply that the bidder said how much he / she was willing to pay for the work, but how much the artist should pay the bidder along with the work. The embroidery was "sold" for the negative sum of NOK 4.100.
