<nettime-ann> EXHIBITION OPENING: INTERFERENCE | CONT3XT.NET.NEWS #09.08 |
. ----- ----- ----- INTERFERENCE - SOLO EXHIBITIONS BY CARLOS KATASTROFSKY http://cont3xt.net/blog/?p=875 ----- ----- ----- The focal point of the solo exhibition INTERFERENCE by the Vienna-based Media Artist carlos katastrofsky is not the disturbance the concept of 'interferences' is normally bound to, but that space of transition, where these interferences appear and which they constitute themselves at the same time. Interferences not only describe defects, they also designate a global phenomenon: these are the natural processes of transformation, which language systems are subjected to in the course of time. INTERFERENCE is a multipart exhibition shown from December 2008 to March 2009 in Copenhagen, Aarhus (Denmark) and online. Opening: 05 December 2008 Duration: 06 December 2008 - 09 March 2009 Venue Copenhagen: mikrogalleriet, http://www.mikrogalleriet.net Venue Aarhus: Spanien 19C, http://www.spanien19c.dk Online venue: netfilmmakers, http://netfilmmakers.dk ----- ----- ----- DISCUSSION FORUM - CURATING, COMMUNICATION + OPEN SOURCE http://cont3xt.net/interference/discuss ----- ----- ----- The preparations for the exhibition INTERFERENCE were accompanied by a temporarily run discussion forum, set up by the curators before the opening of the exhibition. This can be seen as an attempt to make the structuring of the project open source. The discussions where about the shifting borders between the work of an Internet Artist and the one done by a curator who wants to show the work in a physical exhibition. The conversations where about the focus on cultural contexts more than on the technical parts of the work, the mixing of art forms in regard of (un)stable media, and finally the dropping of the notions of avant-garde and the shiny late-nineties "we are on the edge of it all"-attitude. The forum is now readable as an archive. ----- ----- ----- This is a newsletter by CONT3XT.NET (ZVR: 999765999, Vienna/Austria).
