On July 6 & 7, there will be a conference related to the GZT in Hong Kong. Tobias and me will do a brief introduction of our project. We have updated the title as Organizing Mutation. Below is the synopsis. Comments are welcome.
How do we think about (self) organization and what does it mean in today’s art world in Asia? Trying to analyze this question, we planned a three day workshop in Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Guangzhou, to bring together twelve art-workers from different Asian countries to discuss the idea of organization. In the course of this workshop we try to find a way to come up with a common presentation at the exhibition of the Guangzhou Triennial. In line with an experimental spirit, we realize however that a workshop or seminar can never be over-planned and should not anticipate a predictable outcome. Instead of conventional conference structure and agenda, we try to focus on its space and time, in form of a journey across cities in the Pearl River Delta, which constitutes the ground work of a mobile organization of intense communication. We have however assured that the participants all are concerned with the idea of (art) organizations in some way or the other in their daily professions, be it as artists, curators or critics. In general we presume that organizations are mostly self-motivated and result of a personal interest and history imbedded in bigger local and global circumstances.
