NUCA February suggestions…
workshop.nonstop
Opening Wednesday 7th Febuary 6pm, at Loose Projects, Sydney:
This is a project organised by Lisa Kelly to bring together artists working in ongoing collaborative, co-operative, communicative practices. The exhibition itself is a kind of a workshop. Here’s the detail:
CLUBSproject : Bridget Currie : Kate Fulton : Christopher L G Hill : Lucas Ihlein : Lisa Kelly : OSW [Open Spatial Workshop] : Spiros Panigirakis + guests & collaborators [adelaide: melb: sydney]
Taking the modes of workshop & continuous self-organisation as broad starting points of reference, workshop.nonstop invites practices that propagate their own working contexts & conditions - via projects, spaces, blogs, networks, publications, critical writing & making- to a project that will unfold as an open, multidimensional diagram of a workshop. Developing throughout february and hosting a range of dynamic interstate and local practitioners, workshop.nonstop will fittingly explore just how loosely a project might be devised, coordinated and realised…
opening event: wednesday 7th february 6-8pm
featuring performance by MofFarFarRahFebruary 7 - 24

And NUCA’s Keg Roll, with Zanny Begg, have assembled this behemoth project, ifyouseesomethingsaysomething, you’ll need to look at the site to get to grips with all the events. A little spiel:
If you see something, say something will be a discussion, exhibition and publishing project in Sydney in February 2007. Principally this will revolve around an exhibition that will involve a small number of international and Australian artists. Artists will be invited whose work has explored aspects of dissensus – by either questioning prevailing notions of consensus or by exploring new possibilities of social agency. Rather than being an exhibition of political art this exhibition will aim to question how we actually understand the connections between politics and aesthetics.
