La Box Bourges
Project Room. A show without works
Sal Randolph's We Are Reading project will launch on December 15, 2005. Until July 2006, she will develop a continuous project on the Internet. In accordance with her interest for open source, copy left, and information sharing, she has conceived a "reading exchange project."
We Are Reading is part of the exhibition Les formes du délai/Project Room. A show without works. The exhibition will concentrate on the absence of the finished and exhibited work of art. Given that a work of art always goes beyond the spatial-temporal framework of the exhibition, the complex network of relations in which the work inscribes itself is worth considering. The work of art, in effect, participates in a series of practices and discourses which take place prior to and/or outside of the work of art. Exposing the forms from which a given work may take its cues or other forms in which it may be absorbed can ultimately shed light on how a work of art operates, from its conception to its reception.
Including exhibitions, screenings, performances, and online projects that will take place over the course of the year, the general programming of "Les formes du délai" will unfold like so many objects of speculation and experimentation, to encourage questioning on the working methods of artists as well as critical or institutional discourse and viewer practices. The various moments devised by the artists will put in balance the effect of the expectations created by the announcement of the work—before it actually takes shape— and the delayed reaction to it once it comes into being.
"Project Room. A show without works"--Preview: 15 December 2005 - 6 pm; Exhibition: 16 December 2005 - 22 January 2006.
