4PM-11PM SATURDAY THE 12TH OF NOVEMBER
(GRACE EXHIBITION SPACE)
The second in a series of creative production conferences
Conference of Work: Operations and Participations is part group exhibition and part theoretical think tank.
INITIAL CONCERNS TO CONFER ABOUT:
This November wafternoon will bring together performances, workshops, and discussions that deal with the operations (social, political, aesthetic, economic, etc) of participatory, interactive, aleatoric, and other �open source� forms in the practices of artists, curators, and cultural organizers.
Open to the public. Both the beer and the portmanteaux will flow! Performances and presentations taking open source forms will be enjoyed and discussed. For a schedule and complete list of presenters, check back here as the conference takes shape. Group discussions will allow artists across disciplines to share concerns and ideas about the use of participation, aleatoricism, engaged practices, and �community driven� work with its many incarnations and implications.
INITIAL CONCERNS TO CONFER ABOUT: practices� relate to aesthetic developments and methodologies in our various mediums and disciplines? These questions and those they spawn will collide with performance work created in their metabolic soup.
INFECTION COAGULATION, SEDIMENTATION, FILTRATION, DISINFECTION / MARI NOVOTNY-JONES:
A 9 HOUR PERFORMANCE/MEDITAION ON CONTAIMINATION AND THRIST Performance Time: 1pm to 10pm
In this performance, I will examine the desire for an essential material in spite of the impossibility of attaining it. Through the metaphor of the availability of clean drinking water, (access denied to more than a billion people worldwide), viewers can experience the bounty of seemingly endless supplies of developed nations natural resources compared to the limited and dangerous resources shared in developing countries. The consequences of our naive belief in eternal sustainability have begun to surface in our own country to divesting and fatal circumstances.
