ONE PATRON · UNFINISHED
Can one person make freedom real?
ONE PATRON is a real conceptual artwork. It is completed when one person gives Alexander List at least $1,000,000 in cryptocurrency.
The gift creates material freedom. After completion, the patron may be named publicly or recorded as Anonymous Patron.
$1,000,000+
One patron. One life changed. One work completed.
ONE PATRON in 20 seconds
The whole idea, plainly.
The gift creates the material freedom to live and create on his own terms.
The act completes ONE PATRON. The patron may be named publicly or recorded as Anonymous Patron.
Alexander List
I am Alexander List.
I am an artist and writer. ONE PATRON is my direct request for the kind of freedom ordinary project funding cannot provide.
Freedom would mean time to write, make art, develop Enoch, travel, rest, think slowly and decide for myself what comes next.
The point is not to commission an outcome. It is to make that freedom real.
What the act creates
One gesture. Four real consequences.
Alexander receives the freedom the work asks one person to make real.
ONE PATRON changes permanently from UNFINISHED to COMPLETED.
The act and the moment of completion become part of the work’s public record.
After completion, the patron may be named publicly or recorded as Anonymous Patron.
The idea
The act of patronage is the missing part of the artwork.
Traditional patronage helps an artist create a work. Here, the act of patronage is the missing part of the work.
The request, the transfer and the freedom are real. Until one person chooses to complete it, ONE PATRON remains unfinished.
