"We didn't care about the official show, we just wanted to use it for our own purposes." | ||
Participants:
TheFreeBiennial 'Tis the season to host your own biennial show, because virtual "space" is free, and beating the "what is real/who own's what?" conceptual dead horse is just too easy to pass up! To participate, just link a bunch of sites you like, call the project "biennial something-or-other" (I myself am partial to "BritneyBiennial," but of course it's your show), and send me your URL! It's mind-numbingly simple. You can either ask the participants whether they want to be involved, OR NOT! By not asking (as I have not done with the above participants), you raise the supa-fresh issue of copyright. Werd. Or, better yet, compile your own meta-list of other lists, and send me the URL of your meta-list (thus make your site the new MetaBiennial site, and turning this site into the MetaMetaBiennial site. I may have to change my logo!) Or, better yet, add this meta-list to your own meta-meta-list and don't send me any URL at all (thus making your site a MetaMetaBiennial site, and leaving this site to remain the aptly named MetaBiennial site). Whichever you choose, don't forget to call yourself a "curator" (this is very important), and email your URL out to a bunch of people (also very important). If you can marshal a fleet of virtual vehicles and incorporate them into your virtual show, all the better! Or create a "Virtual U-Haul" rental site of your own and make a virtual e-killing out of this virtual craze. Q: Do you consider the MetaBiennial site art?

Q: Why should I participate in this project?
Q: Will we ever escape this circuitous, self-reflexive dialogue with the art institutions themselves and start making art again about something other than whether or not the art is or isn't in a gallery?
