Ella Gibbs of belt > * < Alexei Shulgin of the Moscow wwwArt Centre

Monday 27th January 1997
@ 7:30pm
@ Backspace, Winchester Wharf, Clink Street, London SE1


Menu:
BLOCKED REPRESENTATION > Immersion and Projection

"I do wish we could be more we.
A place to meet. New understanding.
Is our perception making up the world?
[how] DO we separate parts of our life?"

Ella Gibbs, belt:
Not a traditional exhibition / performance space
nor for formal lecture / workshop situations.
The interest is in blurring of boundaries and definitions,
what lies between different disciplines,
between work and audience

ALEXEI SHULGIN:
shifting curating from representation of representation
to new forms of creative action, based on communication.
The political conflict between the two approaches.
Approaching the highest possible level of art/life uncertainty
Curator,
as artist ,
as communicator.

Moscow wwwArt Centre:
translation of Russian underground (= mainstream) art onto
the Internet;
creating new and reshuffling contexts;
being on the frontier of art and everything else;
others..... unmentionable.
Are [new][net] art institutions possible?
