Items perhaps helpful to planning ...
Fragments from a NYT story on changes in art centers:
* with an extremely smart curator
* sculptor Tim Blum, whose cast metal figures and faux-scientific contraptions are based on Duchampian puns
* produced by Dean Daderko, one of the city's most presciently peripatetic independent curators.
* the collective's members survive primarily on grants, on proceeds from their art and on a talent for frugality that they regard as an art in itself.
* a three-month residency they did at the Queens Museum of Art. Wearing bright orange coveralls, they clocked in every morning and began with an empty gallery and continually modified the space with gridlike screens and temporary barriers while doing their own projects: making collages, tabulating statistics, building contraptions. The result was a single installation, an accumulation of accumulations, a combination of theater, child's play and ritual, a Rube Goldbergian version of everyday life.
* - specialize in happening-style interactive events, sometimes in museums, often in the streets.
