Playing By The Rules: Alternative Thinking/ Alternative Spaces

Playing By The Rules: Alternative Thinking/ Alternative Spaces

Winslow Burleson
4/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
The perceived rules of the development and running of alternative spaces, and where those rules came from, are among the questions answered by the authors of Playing by the Rules: Alternative Thinking/Alternative Spaces. The underlying message in the publication is the importance of critical thinking as well as the need for alternative thinking. In the book s preface, Steven Rand addresses the role of the alternative space and the need for alternative thinking to challenge some of the art world s practices and the ways apexart has tried to address them over the last 16 years. A few of the essays provide some history of alternative spaces. Robert Atkins uses as an example the salons of the 1920s, specifically Mabel Dodge s, to show how a true alternative functioned. René Block gives a brief history of how alternatives began and an introduction to the Berlin space TANAS. Using case studies of art venues in China, Vietnam, and Cambodia over the last 20-30 years, Biljana Ciric explores the potentials of alternatives. Other essays use other alternatives as example. Irene Tsatsos uses examples of permaculture housing as alternative living arrangement and Matta-Clark s restaurant Food as alternative venue in the 1970s to demonstrate the importance of critical thinking and unrestrained creative expression. Marina Grzinic presents the construction of normality to help define alternative. Naeem Mohaiemen uses as main example the Paris exhibition of works from Bangladesh to show how an alternative approach to standard procedure is necessary. Other essays reaffirm the importance of thinking critically. Sofija Grandakovska uses the dissident, as an example to explore the importance of critical thinking and searches for the alternative space for the dissident. Julie Ault reviews her previous writing on alternative spaces and shares the importance of reflexivity in continually asking what we are doing and why. Winslow Burleson shares his work in the field of Human Computer Interaction to present a series of motivational tools for young people working in the arts today. Some texts reveal ways to achieve a new alternative space. Renaud Ego shows the alternative aspects in the field of writing and mentions technology, specifically the Internet, as a place for free expression. Boris Groys also explores the power of the Internet as he argues that the de-professionalization of art is a highly professional operation and further that weak images have the most power. The future of alternative spaces may lie in a non-venue. Pablo Helguera suggests we ought to consider our audience and that perhaps the public program and a traveling venue is a more appropriate approach to reaching current audiences. Raphael Rubinstein reviews some of the changes that have evolved since alternative spaces began in the 1970s. More information: apexart.org/publications/playingbythe...
