::fibreculture:: FW: Get Rid Of Yourself

Thu Aug 21 09:12:45 EST 2003

get rid of yourself is a project  highlighting artists¹ collaborative
projects 

I think this project <somehow> has resonance for this idea I floated on
fibre a few days ago about internet-based-artists-connections/residencies
etc in our region

anyway the site listed below doesn¹t seem to link to all the artists sites
so I searched for a few of the artists links myself and they are listed
here:

Homelessness, war without end, surveillance without end, prisons without
end. What is to be done, how should it be done? „GET RID OF YOURSELF“ brings
together two concurrent exhibitions, which introduce ten contemporary
initiatives/projects of independent art publications, artist cooperatives,
fictitious artist enterprises, self organized discussion and presentation
platforms as well as contemporary artist networks, from New York, Chicago
and San Francisco. 

How can artist collectives and initiatives affect their immediate community
and on what scale? How independently do they perceive their social
responsibility in times of increasing political shallowness, greater
economic pressures and social polarisation? In contrast to the
ever-decreasing availability of social services in the US, artist
collectives and activist groups seem proportionately to be on the rise.

The exhibiting artists and artist collectives seek to critically investigate
their own structures, strategies and conditions of production. They all have
in common a critical, autonomous approach to societal relationships. Knowing
that there cannot be a ‘space outside of the system’ – a system in which
social welfare and political responsibility are currently being replaced by
consumerism and economic egoism – these artists address issues such as
(anti-)globalisation, criminal justice, domestic security, surveillance,
methods of opposing war, real estate speculation and homelessness.

For the first time, ACC Galerie is collaborating with the new art space
Halle 14 in the socio-urban biotope of the Leipziger Baumwollspinnerei.

Accompanying the exhibition, which is open from Tuesday – Sunday between
noon and 6 p.m. (free entry) the Federkiel Foundation will publish the 2nd
issue of the “vierzehn” newsletter.

Rather than inviting all artists/groups to appear at once, this exhibition
will in effect have 6 openings (3 in Weimar – 3 in Leipzig) allowing for
questions and materials from these initiatives/groups to accrue once every
two weeks in each city. The schedule for artist’s presentations and the
respective openings follows:
