187: The Distributed Gallery #1
|
|---|
|
A facilitated group project. Curating and/or producing work for the first installment of TELIC’s new exhibition project in Chinatown (which begins October 1). The Distributed Gallery is made of 4 video monitors in various locations around the neighborhood. In the class, this gallery would be described in more detail; we would take a walking field trip to visit the locations; and we’d figure out how to collectively create a program for this context, including a publication component. The class would meet once, with informal followups as necessary. Date: Friday, September 5 at 7pm |

Hi everyone,
At the meeting on Friday we came up with our plan to create content for the video program of the Distributed Gallery #1. Only a couple of us made it to Friday evening’s event, but we wanted to include others that couldn’t be there.
We tossed around a bunch of ideas over the 3 hours and what we came up with was this…
The video program uses as its launching off point 6 quotes that the 3 of us (who made it on Friday) pulled from classes that have been held at the Public School since its inception (these don’t necessarily need to be “in” the video program itself). Our idea is that people signed up for the Distributed Gallery #1 “class” will provide a minute or less of video/images responding to each quote. This can be anything…excerpts from artist projects, movies, news footage, photos (one for a minute or multiple over the course of a minute), content you generate or anything else. In a week or two we will all meet up and look at what we came up with. From this collection of material, everyone will then create a second set of video/images responding to the first batch that will then be sequenced (somehow) together.
When we meet up, a couple of us will bring computers and we can help grab clips from DVDs or online and place them in a central location.
Hopefully this all makes sense…if it does not, please chime in. Also, we will shoot around some dates to make sure everyone will be available who is interested for our initial “material” review.
Now for the quotes!:
Everywhere surfing has already replaced the older sports.
This work has to develop to the highest degree the art of citing without quotation marks.
“We have to liberate our desire,” they say. No! We have to create new pleasure. And then maybe desire will follow.
It’s not a question of worrying or of hoping for the best, but finding new weapons.
[A]rt does not have a monopoly on creation, but it takes its capacity to invent mutant coordinates to extremes: it engenders unprecedented, unforeseen and unthinkable qualities of being. The decisive threshold constitutes this new aesthetic paradigm lies in the aptitude of these processes of creation to auto-affirm themselves as existential nuclei, autopoietic machines.
There has never been any ‘aestheticization’ of politics in the modern age because politics is aesthetics in principle.
Thanks,
Caleb
Hey - when’s the next one of these?
I was a bit out of the loop but am interested in joining the fun if it’s not too late
