THE NEWSPAPER

THE NEWSPAPER

Art Work is a newspaper that consists of writings and images from artists,
activists, writers, critics, and others on the topic of working within
depressed economies and how that impacts artistic process, compensation and
artistic property.

The newspaper will be distributed for free at sites and from people throughout
the United States and Puerto Rico, and will also be available soon from Half
Letter Press for the cost of postage.

The 40-page newspaper features the writings, images, and work of Julia
Bryan-Wilson, Holland Cotter, Tim Kerr, Nance Klehm, Harrell Fletcher,
Futurefarmers, Robin Hewlett, Nicolas Lampert, Lize Mogel, Dan S. Wang, Gregory
Sholette, Dylan A.T. Miner, Christina Ulke and Marc Herbst of the Jouranl of

THE WEB SITE

The web site portion of this project, at www.artandwork.us, will feature free
downloads of the newspaper in many versions for different kinds of readers,
including a print version meant for teachers to print and distribute to
students, and an e-book version for viewing on digital reading devices.

The website will also host discussions around the themes of the paper and a ton
of work that the 40-page print couldn’t fit! There will also be documentation
from the events and exhibitions nationwide that are planned in conjunction with
this project. We invite you to use this newspaper as an exhibition, to host a
discussion, to program an event, or just write in with your thoughts at
http://www.artandwork.us.

OTHER CONFIRMED EVENTS, EXHIBITIONS, DISTRIBUTION HUBS

*Before Temporary Services & SPACES finished their print run, our friend (and
Art Work contributor) Caroline Woolard used her participation in the Amsterdam
Biennale 2009 at the Mediamatic organization to print even more copies, and
bring them to Amsterdam! More information is here:
http://www.mediamatic.net/page/126971/en.

Copies of the paper are at Mediamatic from November 14 - December 13, 2009. A
few "rogue" copies made their way into some of our New York City contributors'
hands before Caroline took off for the Netherlands...

*The Bureau for Open Culture, an exhibition space at the Columbus (Ohio)
College of Art and Design, curates an even-smaller space, the "Agency for Small
Claims". Thanks to the quick work of James Voorhies at the Agency, you'll be
able to view and pick up copies of the newspaper in Columbus starting November
23, 2009. Check out more information on this at
http://www.bureauforopenculture.org/agency.html

*Skydive Gallery (and several individual artists) in Houston, Texas, will be
stocking copies of the newspaper for you to pick up, as soon as we get copies
out to them! Information on Skydive is here: http://www.theskydive.org/.

Also, Domy Books (with the help of our friend Kate Watson) will be a
distribution hub and are planning a future event. http://www.domystore.com/

*More cities and towns that people have committed to distributing in are
Anchorage, Alaska, Bennington, Vermont, and San Diego, California. Temporary
Services members will of course have newspapers to distribute in our home
cities of Urbana and Chicago, Illinois. There are many others, and we will keep
an updated list of points of distribution at http://www.artandwork.us.

You can download a copy of the newspaper itself at
http://www.temporaryservices.org/art_work/art_work_print.pdf. Be aware that
this is a 17 MB, hi res version meant for printing as a newspaper. We will soon
have links to a variety of versions to download and/or print, including an
ebook version, at http://www.artandwork.us.

YOUR INPUT IS NECESSARY!

As you can see, we are still looking for commitments from venues and/or people
that can be distribution points for us? Those who distribute commit to
receiving a number of newspapers in the mail that they will then give to people
in their towns and networks to read and discuss.

Venues - are you interested in programming a future event or exhibition at your
space using our newspaper as the catalyst? It could last a few hours to a few
weeks! Contact us at servers@temporaryservices.org.

The suicide of Primo Levi; AC/DC VH1 Behind the Scenes; Korn; Triumph the Comic Dog and Conan O’Brien; Comic Book Review (cable access show); 1900 House; Max Hiller talks about communism and Rock ‘n Roll; Charlton Heston speaks for the NRA; Howard Stern vs Sinead O’ Connor; Gerald jumps off a cliff; The McLaughlin Group; SNL’s find the black people in the Nicks game; 20/20

 

The Program is a portable video exhibition modeled after television's well-known format. Artist videos are interspersed with regular shows, home movies, advertisements and news. Nothing is related and context is replaced and replaceable at the click of a remote control.

 

In 2001 VHS was still the most popular and affordable way to watch movies, save data and present video art. It also seemed like the logical solution to our money troubled, artist–run, curatorial collective machine known as FGA (a.k.a FUCKING GOOD ART). Our main goal was to organize a portable and domesticated video show--one we could distribute free of charge via US mail. We also wanted to present an art exhibition that could compete against late night television, soap operas, cable and football Sunday.

 

The first edition of The Program was made public on a chilly Chicago night (March 31^st 2001) in my two-bedroom apartment on Division Street. That night close to two- hundred people managed to share one single remote control, closely following Marc Fischer’s thoughtful essay on judgment and the democratization of video art. (Keep in mind this was way before Creative Commons and file sharing technologies)

 

From 2001-2004 The Program was screened in: Cueva Gallery, Milan; Sesto Senso (SUK), Italy; Art Chicago 02 (courtesy of Law Office sting at Zingmagazine’s booth); Waiting Room Gallery, Minneapolis; ONI Gallery, Boston; Bronx River Art Center, NY; Museo de las Americas, Puerto Rico; TBA Exhibition Space, Chicago. Close to four hundred copies were distributed freely in three years. All the copies were home-made with four raggedy VHS machines. People were also encouraged to make their own copies, edit alternate versions and to share them with others. Official alternate versions of The Program were edited by artist Stefano Pasquini and curator Rebekah Rutkoff.

 

The Program makes its final debut as part of Artist Run Chicago, curated by Allison Petters Quinn and Britton Bertran at the Hyde Park Art Center. Make sure to go there and change the channel at will.

Founded by Pedro Vélez and Michael Bulka in 1997, the FGA  (aka Fucking Good Art) started as a poorly published xerox zine / online site dedicated to drunken rants and art criticism --this was before the term "blog" even existed. In 2001, with the help of artist/curator Lena Kuffner, the FGA evolved into a curatorial effort housed in diverse venues between Chicago and Puerto Rico. By 2004 the FGA had a swell group of collaborators (working for free) organizing exhibitions developed specifically for the web, rental spaces, art fairs and sound compilations.

History:
The Program is a portable video exhibition modeled after television's well-known format. Artist videos are interspersed with regular shows, advertisements, and news. Nothing is related and context is replaced and replaceable at the click of a remote control.

In 2001 VHS was still the popular and affordable way to watch movies, save data and present video art. It also seemed like the logical solution to the money troubled artist -run curatorial machine FGA (a.k.a FUCKING GOOD ART). Our main goal was to organize a domesticated portable video show--one we could send people in the mail. We wanted an art exhibition that could compete against late night television, cable and Football Sunday.

In the end, it took four months to edit the five-hour video program. FGA presented the first prototype of The Program on Saturday March 31, 2001, in my two-bedroom apartment located on 1707 West Division Avenue. It was the perfect location: In the first floor we had Pizza Metro, next door to the Goldstar Bar and we were only one block away from the blue line. We expected only 20 visitors that night, mostly the artist in the show. The ones that showed up got a remote control, popcorn, coffee, beer, and a detailed menu with an essay by Marc Fischer. Some even got free copies of The Program. We made 25 to give away free of charge that night, a different number than the unexpected quantity of visitors that night. I counted close to three hundred-not bad for an apartment show.

From 2001-2004 The Program was screened in: Cueva Gallery, Milan; Art Chicago 02; Waiting Room Gallery, Minneapolis; ONI Gallery, Boston; Bronx River Art Center, NY; Museo de las Americas, Puerto Rico. Close to four hundred copies were distributed freely in three years. All the copies were home-made, with four raggedy VHS machines. People were also encouraged to make their own copies, edit alternate versions and to share them with others.

An officially blessed alternate version of The Program was edited by artist Stefano Pasquini in 2002 (exhibited at Sesto Senso Gallery in Bologna). New York based curator Rebekah Rutkoff also made a couple of adulterated versions she later presented in New York and at TBA Exhibition Space, in Chicago.

Today:
The Program makes its final debut as part of "Artist Run Chicago" at the Hyde Park Art Center. Make sure to go there and change the channel at will.

Also available at HPAC is VAULT:

2007 •EXERCISE 1: Evident & Invisible Interactions. Cuated by Kristine Serviá.

2007•EXERCISE 1: Evident & Invisible Interactions. Cuated by Kristine Serviá.

EXERCISE 1:
Evident & Invisible Interactions


Synopsis:Exercise 1 is a project that intends to create a visual dialogue between distant groups through correspondence exchange. For this exercise, the dialogue takes place between a group located in the Caribbean and a group located in North America.


Description:

Everyday life flows in a constant reciprocity. There are instances where exchanges through interactions are evident, planned, and other moments when they appear subtle, indistinct, and invisible. Exercise 1 draws from both situations (evident and invisible interactions).


The projects’ intention is to create a parenthesis, an exchange of random items between the groups. In addition, the exercise alludes to one of the laws of motion, affirming:

“For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” – Newton’s Third Law of Motion.


In Exercise 1 the presence of this reciprocal motion is essential.

1. The action of giving

2. The action of receiving

3. The reaction to what has been recieved.



Elements to make EXERCISE 1:


1. A group of individuals from San Juan, Puerto Rico.

2. A group of individuals from Chicago, Illinois.

3. Equal number of people in both groups.

4. One contact person in each group (location), in charge of sending the package.



PART 1
Note 1: Thinking about intentions exchange, distance, frontiers, language, translations, among others…
Note 2: Individuals donate, intervene, and document.

Deadlines: Posted at the end of this page.

Initial Contact: Each individual, in both groups, makes “a tangible piece”, taking in consideration the idea of the exercise as a thematic suggestion. It is important to consider the size and weight of your piece in small format, in order for the final package to be economical.


PART 2

Gathering: Once everyone (in both groups) has finished their pieces the contact person in each location will be in charge of gathering and packaging all the objects.

Sending: The contact person must go to the post office with the sealed package to get shipping estimate. Following, the contact person will meet with the group and arrange to collect the cost. The shipping cost will be shared among the group.


PART 3

Sending Simultaneously: Both the contact person in San Juan, and in Chicago, will send the package in the mail on the same day.

Receiving Simultaneously: The contact person will receive the package at both locations. The package will be opened when all in each group are present.

Random Repartition: In both locations, on the same day (time), in the presence of all individuals participating, the package will be opened. Once opened the group will decide how to randomly distribute the items among them.


PART 4

Documentation 1: In both groups, all individuals should photograph the original item received/selected.

REACTION: Subjectively, each individual will then react to the object/item received in the way they feel is best.

Documentation 2: In both groups, all individuals should photograph the altered/intervened object. The contact person should then gather copies of each individual’s documentation and resend it.

*The project EXERCISE 1 ends when each group receives evidence that the objects they sent where looked at, touched, or intervened.


PART 5

Conclusion: The project “EXERCISE 1” is effective with or without an exhibition. Both groups should agree to publicly exhibit the evidence of the dialogue once finished.

Evidence & Exhibition: Once the exercise has concluded, each group should have equal amounts of objects and photographs as evidence of the visual dialogue. This material can be publicly exhibited as the interaction.

¿Absurdo?

"FR" - W&N
14 de Agosto de 2008

¿Absurdo? Absurdo son todas las triquiñuelas y marometas que el artista colonial se ve forzado a hacer para demostrar o publicar su obra aquí en la isla del desenfreno, la rimbombancia comercial y la ignorancia. La ‘republiquita bananera’ que tanto pregona Anibalucho y sus sequaces independentistas no tienen que dárlosna USA (The Unaited States of America – por sus siglas en inglé), sino que está ya aquí, instamatic y a to’ color. Pues ahora yo entiendo. No se trata de analquía, anarkía o terrorismo desmedido, sino más bien de obras: videos, pancartas, collages, etc. que estos muchachitos/tas quieren presentar como contraexpo al sinnúmero de junk mail que las instituciones institucionalizadas y ‘galerías’ prostitulizadas, mafiolizadas despliegan, traquetean y refritean para una masa de gustos ramplones, locales y buyangueros. Pues no se asusten con estos eufemismos metafóricos insapientes y huérfanos de carácter que mi genialidad aporta. Sólo basta con que un ojo educado y una mente vibrante se den una vueltita por estos antros y verá a lo que me refiero. ¿Absurdo? Nada de absurdo tiene el que estos chicos/cas sólo traten de hacer de espías infiltrados, infiltrándose por entre este mundillo artístico y mafionisado que compone las galerías e instituciones de esta islilla. Sólo tratan estos chicos/cas de abrilnos más los pardos macos para que así nuestras mentes se abran a la misma vez, y de paso entiendan que el arte se hace por y con un propósito. ¿Absurdo? Absurdo es este mercado pueblerino, mercantíl y follonero, decorativo y descabezao que tanto carece de cojones y conocimiento sobre lo que el arte de verdad debe ser y es. Arrecuéldense; de bananas no solamente vive el hombre (y la mujer, de paso) sino también tenemos (debemos) de admitir otras especies como monjitas, curas, parroquianos, sacerdotes, comunistas, amas de casa, alcahuetes, anexionistas, cíclopes, chulos, acólitos, fanáticos, girlscouts, unicornios, cuernudos, putas, chillos, colonizaos, centáuros y tecatos, que están afuera de círculos mafiosos y elitistas para que esta orgía oligárquica se complete y sea de veldá veldá una demokrácia incluyente al estilo yankee doodle dandy. ¿Are we artists or mickey mouses? De otro modo, por favor; no miren para el lado ni nos critiquen u ofendan porque entonces... ¡nos veremos forzados a incendiar y molotovizar todas las galerías e instituciones del orbe colonial! Para que entonces podamos todos exclamar: ¡Arriba las bananas! Y en esta grata época del terrorismo, digamos todos a unísono: ¡Revolution wiz Love or no Revolution at all!
Gracias.

PUERTO RICAN SUN
by Pedro Vélez

"Absurdo," Aug. 15-Sept. 25, 2008, La 15, Calle Ernesto Cerra #703, Santurce, Puerto Rico
"Absurdo" was a small but magnificent satirical group exhibition about political corruption in Puerto Rico -- it seems to be something of a regular pastime down here -- which takes my vote as the island’s best show of 2008. It was based on a manifesto written by a pseudonymous island character, Dr. Pitt von Pigg. Despite his obviously bogus bona fides, von Pigg has nevertheless become a local cultural icon, and even has a fan page in Facebook. The "Absurdo" exhibition was held at La 15, a storefront gallery in the Santurce district of San Juan overseen by Jose Jorge Román.

As a stylist, Pigg favors nasty diatribes loaded with sexual innuendo and packed with attacks against the evil colonial force up north, the USA. He’s irresistible.

"Absurd are all the tricks and antics that the colonial artist is forced into as a way of showing or publishing his work here on an island," von Pigg writes, "with all the dissipation, commercial ostentation and ignorance of a little banana republic." When Pigg talks about "tricks and antics," he is referring to the ways that the perennial colonial status of Puerto Rico affects the collective psyche of its citizens, promoting a certain anxiety and victimology, not to mention moral corruption.

What gave "Absurdo" its special kick, however, was the fact that the artists in the show are all involved with a local network of blogs and independent publications that have arisen in part as a reaction to the blind eye the main media has turned towards recent scandals concerning local museums, art professionals, galleries and the government. The network has been a success, in the sense that it directs the critical conversation onto subjects that more traditional media have ignored. "Art blogs have changed the panorama," says Warren James, a Puerto Rican architect who works in New York. "They provide a window into newly minted art and artists."

One such blog is TranceLiquido.com, overseen by Lilliam Nieves and Arnaldo Román, who point out that the computer screen offers a new window into human intimacy. For "Absurdo," they show a photograph of a man whispering into the ear of a woman, who in turn has an expression of awe and seduction. Titled Networking the Pleasure, the image is overlaid with hip icons from software applications and web forums.

Another photo, called Decontextualizing Human Software, is a black-and-white image of Román’s face breaking up into pixilated squares, as his identity literally morphs from the 19th-century photographic representation into the 21st-century digital one. Here, the information highway leads into some dangerous territory, as the two artists point out that the web can carry attacks, rumors and general annoyance. New technologies produce new crimes.

New technologies also have made images more available than ever before -- for nefarious purposes, often enough. Carmen Olmo, an artist who recently had an exhibition at Galeria Guatibiri in Rio Piedras (one of the best shows of the year) and who also organizes web exhibitions via dondeveoarte.com, her own website, steals several zoological images from the web to create her multimedia work, 1931 Savage Sex (from the "Exploitation Lovable" series). A banner for the exploitation film hoax poster Ingagi, which shows a rather sleazy-looking gorilla holding a bare-breasted native African woman, is inset with a digital video screen, which shows a loop of monkeys copulating. The tagline on the banner reads, "Wild Women, Gorillas, Unbelievable," which seems to imply that a touch of bestiality can be found in true love.

Ingagi was made in 1931, earlier than King Kong, which debuted in 1933. The producers of Ingagi were sued for their unauthorized use of footage from an authentic ethnographic film that had been released 15 years earlier. Olmo’s work is a new loop in the historical string, reproducing and reinforcing a sexual taboo, which is sometimes taken as a harmless joke, and other times as a pornographic fetish.

The digital artist Teo Freytes, who runs msa-x.org, a site that documents exhibitions, uses the iPhone as a tool in a group of works titled Hot Morcilla. A veteran of the San Juan art scene, Freytes has produced two traditionally painted watercolors after a digital study drawing he made on his iPhone. The subject is blood sausage on a hot dog bun, a hilarious hybrid that serves as a metaphor for the cultural mix between the nations of U.S. and Puerto Rico. The painted text that adorns the larger painting ("Morcilladog") is made of letters that look like skinny parasite worms. The Puerto Rican meat product coexists nicely with the North American bollo blanco, probably because food in Puerto Rican culture is part of a social ritual. To escape and to forget we indulge in food.

Carlos Fajardo’s La Muñeca is a spray-painted caricature of a wide-eyed, smiling redhead, who looks out at the viewer and signals with her right hand. "I propose a national day for dolls," reads a blocky text in the background, a collage of magazine and newspaper clippings, all within a tacky decorative frame. The work seems to be a portrait of the television character La Comay, for which a man dresses in a life-sized puppet costume to relate local social and political gossip every weekday evening. La Comay is so popular that many of our corrupted senators, who travel like statesmen to Miss Universe beauty pageants, would rather make an appearance on this gossip show than answer more straightforward questions from the press. Fajardo’s Muñeca is a sharp social critique of the power of gossip.

If gossip wins ratings, then Strange Connections by Teresa López is a kind of subdued gossip for intellectuals. The publisher of the magazine Orificio, which features projects by artists, López has designed a series of posters that look like that old children’s matching game, with a list of names on one side and a column of pictures on the other, to be linked with a drawn line. Richard Nixon, El Ché and Rasputin, for instance, all correlate to a banana. Guevara? Banana? Phonetically, it could all make sense. Strange Connections is more about absurd visual poetry than anything else.

The young artist Norma Vilá, who is generally known for her installation works, here contributes a small color photo that bounces nicely off of the rest of the show. Taken by chance, the image shows one man and three women, all morbidly obese and all wearing blue outfits, standing in a parking lot. One of the women holds a bat and wears a custom-made T shirt that reads (in Spanish), "I’m as loose as a shoelace," a phrase loaded with sexual connotations that derive from Reggaeton music. In this picture, reality meets head on with folklore and fantasy. The question is: are we part of this collective, or are we apart from it?

The absurdity of it all is channeled with theraputic justice in FR, a great sculpture by duo W&N. The severed head of a mannequin, wearing a black wig and with long colorful cotton strings attached to the neck like blood and veins, lies on broken marble tiles on the floor. The face shows multiple cuts and a swollen eye, made delicately with paint and graphite. As if these cosmetics weren’t freaky enough, the artists have given the mannequin the look of a local former art dealer known for his obsessive lying.

In the work, the broken marble is a symbol of decadent aristocracy and wealth, expressed in the phrase "you come from la Loza," which is similar to being born with a silver spoon in your mouth. The dealer has become subject matter for several artists lately, but W&N treat the subject as a prop to describe decadence and injustice in the island as well as a marker of a vigilante counterculture engaged in collective vengeance via esthetics.

In the end, the head of FR not only represents individual tragic failure, it also stands for the scandalous state of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Puerto Rico, which has been paralyzed by a year-long controversy that has included a funding crisis, threats to close, demands for the resignation of the museum board and, last but not least, the appointment of a new director. The organization currently stands at the crossroads -- either it will close or transform itself into the progressive institution it has never been.

FR is a breakthrough piece in contemporary Puerto Rican art because it memorializes, without fear, the collapse of a golden era into ethical and fiscal corruption. And at the same time it signals a new beginning full of hope with new ideas and attitudes.

The show ends on a happier note with a video collaboration by the late Art Kendallman, aka KMAN, and Museo el Barrio curator Elvis Fuentes. Though KMAN is with us no more, the performances and sculptural works by this artist and habitual blogger survive through the very blogs he nurtured and loved.

PEDRO VÉLEZ had a great five years vacationing in Puerto Rico. He has now relocated to Chicago, where he is hard at work on The Comercial Years: The Lazy Days of Art, a memoir of his time on the island.

Why the Fuck not PPodcast

Episode 2 starts with a little unmentioned snippet of a song by Elio & Le Storie Tese awesomely performed by Antonella Ruggiero, to steadily continue with an interview with Manu Théron, lead singer of Lo Còr de La Plana, Chin na na poun and Gacha Empega. Although this episode of Why the Fuck not PPodcast was officialy invited to PUBLICA 2 in Puerto Rico, scared of the thought that the Bad at Sports staff is listening to it, this episode doesn't say a word about contemporary art. In fact, it barely treats contemporary music at all. Be brave, download it here.

Island's Artists Invade Milwaukee International Art Fair

REPUESTO and a group of puertorrican artists have been invited, by the curator of the prestigious center of contemporary art INOVA from the University of Winsconsin, Nicholas Frank, to take part during the 16th and 17th of May 2008 at Milwaukee International Art Fair. REPUESTO, a publication and archive of art events images on line, designed by duo W&N, together with the artists Gamaliel Rodríguez, Pedro Vélez, Abdiel Segarra, Jacob Marchosky and Kristine Serviá will be present with pieces of installation, drawing, painting, collage and sound objects. The Milwaukee Internacional fair is recognized in the international scene by its slightly conventional model since the fair is celebrated in a brewery.

REPUESTO’s intervention adds to some renown galleries that will participate on the art fair like Gavin Brown's Enterprises, Daniel Reich, Leo Koenig, Western Exhibitions, and Willy Wonka from Oslo among others.

Cataño DC

CATAÑO D.C. (Distrito Cultural)
El domingo 13 de abril de 2008, paralelo a Circa International Art Fair se celebrará el evento Cataño D.C. (Distrito Cultural). El mismo desea desarrollar en el casco urbano del municipio un proyecto cultural que sirva para unificar la comunidad y promover el intercambio de la historia del pueblo y sus costumbres. Cataño D.C. consta de diez y ocho (18) intervenciones artísticas a través de las facilidades del frente marítimo del municipio y las lanchas que transitan entre Cataño y Viejo San Juan. Jesús “Bubu” Negrón, Chemi Rosado-Seijo, Quintín Rivera-Toro y Jacob C. Morales-Marchosky son algunos de los artistas suscritos. Además, el público disfrutará de una propuesta musical experimental desde las 6pm hasta las 9pm en el Frente Marítimo de Cataño. Los proyectos musicales seleccionados cuentan con una estética influenciada por las vivencias citadinas. El propósito de la actividad es crear conciencia sobre el espacio y la necesidad de un arte especifico para su entorno. Este proyecto espera activar un área que aunque es rica en historia se encuentra rezagada del fenómeno de los programas de agenda cultural. El equipo de producción desea comenzar mediante esta acción un efecto de impacto que abra al pueblo de Cataño a mayores consideraciones como escenario para eventos o realizaciones de corte cultural. Cataño D.C., es un proyecto de Manuel de Lemos, arquitecto y urbanista y Conboca, Inc., una corporación sin fines de lucro que por dos años se ha ocupado por fomentar a través de proyectos de exhibición y publicaciones, el pensamiento crítico y la actividad cultural comprometida.

Connect-the-Dots (Dead Pigeon)

Traditional education, implied largely to the operating or instrumental conditioning theory, distinguishes an instruction that bears in mind a stimuli that tries to receive specific response from the subjects, in this case, from the children.

Through experimental exercises, for example the connection of dots to create an image, a specific reference is given in order to have reinforced consequences; it is important to be kept in the line. This vague activity has as a main but hidden goal, for every child to develop no creativity and individuality wile teaching them to follow instructions.

Usually, when children are given an activity like this with a specific icon, for example a flower, next time they are asked to draw one, it is highly possible for them to draw a similar flower.

EVENT HORIZON: PUBLIC ART PROJECT

Featuring Printed Broadsides, Ephemera & Performative Happenings

“Event Horizon” is a public art project that seeks to create a site for inquiry into the nature of current events and history through the use of print media, performance, and individual interpretation. Artists within “Event Horizon” interpret and re-present topics, headlines, graphics, and text found in widely circulated newspapers, broadsides, and fliers to produce creative, critical, and poetic interplays in the form of printed posters and broadsides. The reader’s ability to translate and creatively respond to “popular” issues will underscore a story or subject’s meaning, thereby exposing “the style” of interpretation as a determinant element of how events or topics are individually understood and communicated to a larger public. Traditionally hung in public places to announce news and events to the public, broadsides locate information within a locality of interest, while creating a visual tableau, indexing issues within a splayed format. Physically unbound, the broadside references the loose sheets of a newspaper, with large type and simple script, easily read by the passerby, to be papered and hung on poles, store windows, buildings, and folding displays. Using print media as a means to create a backdrop for the projection of ideas and opinions, “Event Horizon” re-contextualizes current events within a staged setting of signage and performative happenings. By situating themselves within a public place, calling and handing out their print media, participating artists will be inadvertently quoting other historical and contemporary performance traditions, including: town-crier, soap-boxer, street performer, mystic, publicist, recruiter and activist. The public is invited to engage notions of the “newsworthy” through absurdist, practical, educational, comic, mundane, and dramatic presentations of topical material.

PARTICIPATING ARTISTS:
Erika Adams (Boston, MA), Razan Alazzouni (Boston, MA), Chad Arnholt (Boston, MA), Elaine Bay (Boston, MA), Janine Biunno (Boston, MA), Rob Erickson (Brooklyn, NY), Noah Fischer (Brooklyn, NY), Melinda Go (Boston, MA), Rebecca Bird Grigsby (Boston, MA), Harvey Loves Harvey (Boston, MA, Brooklyn, NY), Lisa Hecht (Milwaukee, WI), Alysia Kaplan (Chicago, IL), Louise Krampien (Boston, MA), Jessica Marx (Boston, MA), Stefano Pasquini (Bologna, Italy), Rhonda Ratray (Boston, MA), Vinicius Sanchez (Boston, MA), Jennifer Schmidt (Brooklyn, NY), Jessica Scott-Dutcher (Boston, MA), Victoria Shen (Boston, MA), Kirk Snow (Boston, MA), Marcelino Stuhmer (Milwaukee, WI), Pedro Velez (Puerto Rico) with Gamaliel Rodríguez-Ayala (Oslo, Norway), Gabe Ventura (Boston, MA), Stefanie Vermillion (Boston, MA), W&N (Puerto Rico), Marine Wallon (Paris, France), Terrance Wong (Boston, MA), Tina Ye (Boston, MA), Jennifer Yorke (Chicago, IL).
