From Appropriation to Infiltration: Accessing Public through Tactical Media You are cordially invited to attend the upcoming MFA Graduate Program Colloquium for spring 2011. WHEN: Monday April 4th, 10:30 AM – 4:30 PM WHERE: The Remis Auditorium at the Museum of Fine Arts located at 465 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA. TOPIC: This colloquium intends to facilitate a rigorous conversation at the point where performance and appropriation tactics intersect our technologically mediated public sphere. With interest in eliciting a healthy range of perspectives, faculty member Nate Harrison and MFA graduate student Jordan Tynes have invited a group of artists and activists to present their projects and working methods. Each representing a model for critical cultural practice today, all share in common an interest in the infiltration of the apparatuses of mass media and its construction of a public towards renewed senses of autonomy and agency. SPEAKERS: Bill Drummond is a Scottish musician, media personality, record producer, writer and artist. He is best known as co-founder of late 1980s avant-garde “pop group” The KLF and its 1990s “avant-art” media-manipulating successor, the K Foundation. He has also written several books, produced a variety of different conceptual art projects, and helped to set-up The Foundry, an arts centre in Shoreditch, London. Drummond’s current project is a choir called The17. Steve Lambert made international news just after the 2008 US election with The New York Times “Special Edition,” a replica of the grey lady announcing the end of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and other good news. He is the founder of the Anti-Advertising Agency, lead developer of Add-Art (a Firefox add-on that replaces online advertising with art) and has collaborated with numerous artists including the Graffiti Research Lab and the Yes Men. Eva and Franco Mattes are the Brooklyn-based artist-provocateurs behind the infamous website 0100101110101101.org. Pioneers of the Net Art movement, they are renowned for masterful subversions of public media, such as their notorious (and unauthorized) Nike advertising campaign. Superflex (Rasmus Nielsen) is a Danish artists’ group founded and directed by Jakob Fenger, Rasmus Nielsen and Bjørnstjerne Christiansen. It has been working since 1993 on a series of projects related to economic forces, democratic production conditions and self-organization. Marisa Olson‘s work combines performance, video, drawing & installation to address the cultural history of technology, the politics of participation in pop culture and the aesthetics of failure.

Performance/Lecture for “Free” at New Museum Sat. 11/6 3pm
http://visitsteve.com/work/performance-lecture-at-new-museum/
Free as in Freedom and Free as in Free Beer: a talk and walking tour with jokes If you’re in New York next weekend, please join me as I dig into the various definitions of “Free,” from human liberation, the law, freedom of movement, to economics. (If not in NYC, maybe you could let a friend know?) I’m excited to pull together the ideas of The Diggers, punk rock, Franklin Roosevelt, and the Free Software movement to spark some new ideas and conversation. The show will start with a brief multi-media whirlwind though these ideas and end with a short walking tour through the galleries and into the streets to see how these ideas apply in the real world. It should be fun too. I hope you can make it. My talk is related to the New Museums new exhibition, Free. And the event is free… with museum admission. Buy Tickets in Advance or check out more info about the event on the New Museum’s website.

http://log.chocolaterobot.com/?p=195
Postópolis DF! June 8th -12th Mexico City Jace Clayton (aka) Dj Rupture and Regine Debatty from We Make Money not Art invite Magnus and me to Postópolis DF! If you are around, stop by for a bit of FAT, urban hacking, tunnels, Tepito and the internets!

The talks include amazing bloggers and local crew from the city like Ehecatl Cabrera, El Proyecto Sonidero y Jose Antonio Macotela. Go here for more details!
Electrified Summercamp! June 17th -27th Gent, Brussels Timelab invited me to their awesome fablab in Gent! From june 17 till 27 the second edition of Summercamp Electrified will take place in Ghent. Summercamp Electrified is a ten day intensive encounter between 12 local and international artists with the city as a setting and timelab as a motor. Openness and exchange is at the heart of the summercamp. We are inviting artists with original ideas and an adventurous spirit who are open to collaborate with artists working in other fields. De backgrounds of the artists are very diverse. Whereas workshops for artists often attract people working in the same fields or niches, we are explicitly aiming for a very diverse group or artists. There is not one specific theme for the Summercamp, but there are some red threads we would like to offer: * the city as a lab, actions in public space * the triangle timelab is working in : art, technology, society * an important theme running through timelab’s activities in the next year : ‘re-spark!’ – the idea of re-ensouling, re-using, re-appropriating, upcycling ideas/objects/projects Summercamp Electrified is a collaboration between timelab and Vooruit Arts Centre and is supported by Interreg in the context of Transdigital

Discussion: The Artist-Citizen, Advocating Change
http://visitsteve.com/news/discussion-the-artist-citizen-advocating-change/
The Artist-Citizen, Advocating Change Tuesday, March 23, 6:30 pm The role of artists needs to be repositioned as essential to our culture and society. How can artists determine how to maneuver within the existing societal structure to achieve reliable, long lasting support both politically and socially. How can artists realize that individuals can hone power to implement change? What are the resources that artists may utilize to understand the rights and opportunities that already exist? What are some examples of artists who have advocated for more support and have succeeded? What are steps artists can take to achieve greater agency for themselves? Moderated by Zeferey Throwell. Caron Atlas, consultant Carin Kuoni, Director, the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School Steve Lambert, artist Esther Robinson, Founder, ArtHome Ethan Shoshan, artist W.A.G.E., Working Artists and the Greater Economy Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts 323 West 39th Street New York, NY 10018-1411 (212) 695-0535
