ART AND TECHNOSCIENCE Conference

BIP2010 - The Acrobatic Squad-
The 7th International Biennial of Photography and Visual Arts in Liege is one of the most exciting art events i've seen in a while. This year's theme is (Out of) Control.

Today Reminder: The Headless Conference on March 19, 2010-
The Office for Parafictional Research has been established to study the implications of a body of work by artist duo Goldin+Senneby known as Headless. For the past three years, the Stockholm-based collaborators have been investigating an offshore company called Headless Ltd as part of a larger inquiry into strategies of absence, invisibility, and withdrawal. Their project, also called Headless, has emerged in a number of formats thus far, including lectures and readings, a series of newspaper ... (more)

Yesterday FAVICONTEST: Winner(s)- So... Team Rhizome™ got together yesterday to determine the winner of our FAVICONTEST and I must admit that it was intense... a little too intense. After many long hours of screaming, clawing, and hair-pulling we were no closer to reaching an agreement on which of the user-submitted favicons to ordain as victor as we were when we started. Out of this ideal-driven hate-fest, the decision was made to share the spoils and select several favicons to use for Rhizome.org. So... in the coming week... (more)

Yesterday Required Listening: Women's Audio Archive-
The Women's Audio Archive began as a series of recordings, taped by Lewandowska after leaving her home country in 1984, grown out of an interest in language as a site of cultural displacement. These recordings document public events, seminars, talks, conferences, and private conversations as valuable records of a particular time in discourse, beginning around 1983 until 1990. Lewandowska denotes this period of time as one dominated by academics and artists close to October magazine and b... (more)

Above: Laid Off from the series "Testament"

The project consisted of a series of chapters, each of which focuses on a collectively told vignette, story, proclamation, or meditation on topics such as identity, the economy, illness, politics, the war, or work.

3 days 2010: A Small Odyssey-
Pae White, Smoke Knows, 2009. (Photograph by Fredrik Nilsen)
2010, Francesco Bonami and Gary Carrion-Murayari's Whitney Biennial, is essentially a Whitney Biennial calibrated for the times: small at 55 artists and altogether humble. This humility, and the fact that one needn't contend with an overwrought curatorial concept, allows viewers a more cogent experience than past, sprawling, thesis-driven Biennials could offer. Several works, rooms and motifs make good impressions. Not many are impr... (more)
