ream (noun)

2. A very large amount. Often used in the plural: reams of work to do.
10 ARTISTS
500 MINUTES
500 PIECES OF WORK
The chosen ten people will be given a desk in the café & eight hours & 20 minutes to produce fifty drawings each from the ream of five hundred collectively. The time, between midday & 8.20pm, can be used as the artist chooses.
Each piece must be completed & hung in the gallery in time for the vernissage at 9pm that evening.
None of the five hundred sheets of paper may be substituted or thrown away.
This is an experiment in creativity & stamina which will hopefully result in a gallery full of five hundred beautiful & interesting images.
The works will then be for sale at a nominal fee of 5€ each so throughout the day the exhibition will build & then slowly be deconstructed as the artworks are bought & taken away.
