How much do advertisements and announcements play a role in your life? How much attention do you pay to notices in newspapers and other media, or the personal hand written notices in supermarkets? How much do you trust them and how do you react?

For Three Artists Walk into a Bar... Ceemin will place three objects in public space; a candle, a block of ice and bowl of milk, all of which once activated and left out, have a temporal quality with little time left unless someone cares to tend to them. Announcements in every day settings identify the objects as lost, looking for a non-existent owner to save them from their imminent expiration. Setting these objects that could easily be saved a-drift in public space, the artist addresses complex issues of choice between responsibility and apathy, between trust and fear in everyday life.
