post-autonomy on-line

Interview with Elaine Sturtevant about her recent exhibition at Anthony Reynolds "Vertical Monad".

This is the second in an on-going series of debates with Basekamp - which is a Philadelphia based gallery that specialises in collaborative practices.

The debate will expand on ideas raised in a discussion with basekamp in late May -

These prinicipally looked at how is it possible to expand our current understanding of Post Autonomy?

But also around the key issues within a Euro-centric tradition of art - what space exists for development and change? In other words what room exists for Post Autonomy within the current understanding of contemporary art?

Developing a Post Autonomous practice by David Goldenberg

on Thursday, October 16, 2003 - 17:27

This text was developed over approximately three years and was intended as an artwork in its own right i.e as a type of work that could be seen to be post autonomous.

The text piece was presented at the Museum of Modern art, Arnhem, The Nederlands; The Atlantis gallery, London, UK for a "Lecture in forklift trucks" organised by Gustave Metzger and T1 & T2.

How much autonomy do you need?

A one hour performance.

Stage 1 – establishing the conditions for staging a pa event

Staging a thought experiment – where we are going to look at mentally moving from the existing model into another model.

Our point of departure is an examination of the expanded role of the artist and autonomy.

Art is everywhere, where there is no edge, where it is difficult to say what is and what is not art.

colourschool and Post Autonomy Debate: What are the limits of participatory practices?

For
this event, a video/skype link to London connects Post Autonomy’s David
Goldenberg with colourschool participants, who discuss and debate the
limits of participatory practices.

David Goldenberg invites participants to think on the following questions and considerations…

Is
a participatory practice the sole embodiment of a radical democratic
practice in contemporary art? (if not is it possible to point to other
practices?)

The following is a series of unedited debates that took place on the second PA website - between David Goldenberg and key practitioners specialising in interrogating participatory practices against a Global context.

The idea of the series of on-line debates is to continue the debate into what constitutes a participatory practice, which functions as a continuous thread throughout the development into understanding what is a Post Autonomous practice.

Listed below are the current projects looking at Post Autonomy:

1) On-line debates into the Logic of Participatory Practice's

2) Collaborative text with Aesthetic Management

3) Conversation with Aesthetic Management

4) Despite the noise

5) The time for post autonomy is now

Please note
The third version of the post autonomy site is currently under development, and for that reason will change without notification or may even be taken off line to repair technical problems.
The intention of the third site is to accommodate all the developments in understanding Post Autonomy and to develop projects/activities that are specific to developing a Post Autonomous practice, whether in the context of an on-line environment, or in physical practical terms.
