Concept of the Exhibition (text taken from inIVA )


In this season of exhibitions, events and interventions, soft (September - December 2002) highlights different approaches to exhibition-making which operate outside a rigid institutional structure. It tests the limits and flexibility of physical, conceptual and curatorial space to explore the relationship between the institution, artist and audience.

soft: Danger Museum (04/09 - 27/09/02)
The Danger Museum is transforming TheSpace@inIVA into a museum annexe - with a shop, café, office and gallery space - in order to show the projects they have developed for inIVA's soft season: a presentation of work by international artists' collectives; a Danger Museum book-network project for the inIVA library; artists' multiples; interviews with artists on their art and life; and a specially produced newsletter. Those invited to participate in the project include Alex Villar, The Artists Village (Singapore), Kyong Fa Che, Sebastian Stegner and Matze Schmidt.

TAV's participation in soft


TAV's participation in soft: Danger Museum consists of 3 components:
1. DM Newsletter #15 is a feature on The Artists Village - our history as well as the practice and ideology of the 'new' group.
The Newsletter will be distributed internationally and will be officially launched in Singapore in October.
2. In TheSpace@inIVA, TAV is screening SEE SINGAPORE! and providing some Singapore-produced publications for the audience to browse through and purchase.
3. TAV is collaborating with Danger Museum on Transmissions #2.

3. Transmissions #2

 

A collaborative effort between DM and TAV, Transmissions #2 is an online magazine that makes visible the process of its own creation. The process of creating Transmissions #2 becomes a 'workshop' to consider the web as an experimental work space. The process, thoughts and works produced will be made available online throughout this period. At the completion of Transmissions #2, there will be a launch - on & offline in the TAV office (Singapore) - to mark the end of the process and show the results.

Transmissions #2 is on for a month from 25 Sep to 25 Oct 02.
