has been for sale for some time, as you have seen. The maintenance and ongoing development to keep our non-profit and idealistic platform for contemporary art running and safe from hackers etc. costs money that is no longer there. Because of small investments that are necessary now and the running costs, we will have to shut down with a heavy heart at the beginning of summer on June 21.
Venice is a city full of women:
some real, some false, other idealised ...
[ Venezia è una città piena di donne:
alcune reali, altre false, alcune idolatrate...]
Each of 81 PVC pipes was balanced, unattached, at its exact center upon the apex of a wooden base. Audience not to touch. Curtis: "Through this installation I explore the idea that everyone has effect on everything, and everything upon us, whether we have direct contact or not."
Curtis recorded all of her intimate conversations for a year. Nine 45-second segments of recordings from these conversations projected from 9 ducts. Curtis synchronized these segments so that every 45 seconds all 9 conversations happen to contain the same word simultaneously. Curtis transcribed all of her year's conversations to find a common word; she did not know what the word would be when she began. It was 500+ hours of transcribing, an hour of transcribing every day, plus 25 art assistants contributing time.
