BYOA (Bring Your Own Art)

This is awesome.

artevents:

FEBRUARY 3. Free. X-Initiative.

Please save the date for our closing event celebrating the end of X Initiative: Join us on FEBRUARY 3rd for BRING YOUR OWN ART, a 24-hour event inspired by Walter Hopps’s Thirty-Six Hours, an event that the legendary curator organized in the Museum of Temporary Art in Washington, DC in 1978, where Hopps installed anything that anybody brought to the museum. Artists, galleries, curators, collectors and enthusiasts are invited to site and install art at X Initiative, which will be open for viewers and participants for 24 consecutive hours. BRING YOUR OWN ART is a temporary occupation which mirrors X’s activity for the last twelve months. A gathering for the closing of X initiative, BYOA offers a DIY platform where any kind of art can be exhibited at this historic site. X Initiative will collaborate with Adam Simon of Fine Art Adoption Network (FAAN) for this event. FAAN is an online network ( http://www.fineartadoption.net ) that uses a gift economy to connect artists and potential collectors (adopters). Details to follow.

So we’ll each make a work and place them together. Or side-by-side. Or within one another. I’d like to make a new work with glass clipframes. I’ll use the words then, clipframes and permutations. Maybe your poems in my frames? I like this idea of an accident waiting to happen. What if it’s more specific to the space itself? Because it’s quite small, it’s only a storefront. The show’s not up for long, so consider the duration. Roughness, too. And compression. Yours are modular in the same way as mine. They’re permutations, visual rhymes of each other. That’s what gives it meaning. It should be quite an empty gallery when you look at first. Yes, the gaps are what will fill it.

Semi-mysterious opening by Daniel Eatock and Rob Giampietro this Thursday, excellent!

This year’s NYC Pillow Fight will happen on Wall Street on Saturday April 4th at 3pm. Dress to the nines, ready to demand your bailout money. Fake cash, not feathers!

For our inaugural SPD@FIT event for 2009, we knew we needed something big enough to keep pace with the other big inaugural events of 2009. Join us on Tuesday, February 10th for an evening with Paula Scher, Partner at Pentagram, for an evening Paula describes in this way:

“As a child of the sixties I was always rebellious. It came with the decade. I found that a form of rebelliousness is always present in my best work, and my work suffers when it is widely accepted and it becomes a part of the establishment.

This talk will show how I have rebelled against Helvetica, expectations of others, and mostly rebelled against myself.”

I want to go to this! I love Paula!
