Wheel of philanthropic fortune

The Art Newspaper
15 May 2015

Visitors at Nada can spin the art world wheel of fortune at P! gallery's booth. When collectors buy one of the artist Wong Kit Yi's work, 10% of the proceeds will go to charity—but you won't know which one until you spin the colourful wheel labelled with the names of art non-profits, including SculptureCenter, W.A.G.E., Nada and Triple Canopy. Most of the organisations have booths on site, so the dealers will cut a cheque right on the spot and walk it over to the winner. Another surprise comes when collectors actually receive their works: Wong sells (for $4,000 each) a customisable plan for an art object, but won't actually make it until this autumn when she goes on a three-week residency at the North Pole.
