Publish and Be Damned
an evening at Barbican's Conservatory as part of the Gordon Matta Clark/Trisha Brown/Laurie Anderson exhibition

A special appearance from PABD’s cult publishing fair, featuring some of the very best independent and DIY publications, books and magazines made by artists and print enthusiasts.

A beautiful setting and a great small group of independent publishers. Unfortunately the Barbican charged 10 pounds entrance (not very much in the 70s New York independent artists spirit) which made the visitors less enthusiastic about buying the publications. The event also didn't seem to be properly advertised, and the date and time (Thursday 6.30 to 10) were weird, it might have worked better on a Saturday...

Artists' initiatives from around the world testing new exhibition and mediation formats have been invited to the subvision festival from 08/26 to 09/06/2009 to present their artistic work as well as their very own strategies of presenting and mediating art. 31 artists' groups, independent project spaces, artists' archives, and research projects from 19 countries that are developing outside established institutions and disregarding commercial viability will create an exciting and variegated presentation forum with exhibitions, artists' talks, performances, concerts, readings, and video screenings. A temporary exhibition architecture consisting of shipping containers and scaffolding form an extraordinary frame for an unconventional endeavour. The design of the yet undeveloped "prime cut" of the HafenCity is oriented towards urban planning models, citing them not without irony.

'MOLECULAR REVOLUTION' READING GROUP


Guattari/Rolnik's 'Molecular Revolution in Brazil', guacamole and doritos, vodka-ginger ale and lemon, picnic table, garden, english summer

'We address ourselves to unconsciouses that protest. We seek allies. We need allies. And we have the impression that those allies already exist, that they did not wait for us, that there are many people who have had enough, who are thinking, feeling, and working in similar directions: they have nothing to do with a trend, but with a more profound 'spirit of the age,' in which convergent investigations are taking place in very different domains.'
pg 19

'What's important is to go on with our own networks and reinvent an international way of working that enables us to have access, in the least bad conditions possible, to the tremendous period that lies ahead - for better and for worse!'
pg 134

NILS NORMAN'S EDUCATIONAL FACILITY NO. 2 AT 'GAMES AND THEORY' CURATED BY KIT HAMMONDS AT SOUTH LONDON GALLERY





Games & Theory brings together the work of international contemporary artists who share interests in play, sports and gaming. With works shown in, on and around Nils Norman's play architecture, viewers are encouraged to become active participants in the exhibition and climb, crawl and experience the gallery in new ways. Taking its cue from Situationist ideologies, Games & Theory explores the radical potential of play as a form of resistance and expression of freedom.
