Sponsor | CURATOR — ERES LLC
When we approached ERES LLC for sponsorship, they wanted to support ZO, but had no real preference for a particular country or any desire to set up their page with creative artists. They left those details to ZO!
“This was a great opportunity for us to see how this type of sponsorship might work, so because we have had so much contact with so many artists from all over the world, we decided that we would go with some kind of random selection to choose a country for ERES (which by the way is an acronym for Exception Real Estate Solutions). All of us at ZO have a propensity for games, fun, and doing things differently, so we ‘artistically’ listed every country on pieces of paper, put those folded choices into our gold jeweled ‘break the tie’ box, and picked a name out of the proverbial hat!
Timor-Leste was a bit of a surprise to all of us, because none of us could really remember hearing much about it, nor did we have much of an idea of where it was. Although we proceeded to look up a few things about life there from the news, we’re really looking forward to finding some artists from there. It is a beautiful country and seems quite interesting.” River Alexander – Concept Director.
