In Our Present Condition (N–Z)
The exhibition In Our Present Condition (N–Z) is the result of the class Advanced Workshop in Artistic Practice and Transdisciplinary Research: Porous Boundaries, Shifting Borders, and Fertile Edges. It focused on collaborative artistic research projects related to ACT’s recognition of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Center for Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS), a unique and renowned center of artistic research founded at MIT in 1967, and the predecessor to ACT.
In 1970, Otto Piene, who was then a Fellow at CAVS (and later its Director for over twenty years), published ‹More Sky,› a plea for expanding what art and artists might be and do.
As a starting point I worked with the idea of expanding concise parameters (Otto Piene talked about the museum). The poster I proposed is a ‹greenscreen›, so actually the poster can be anything and much more than just a rigide image in a set format: Use a Greenscreen app!
