THIS IS A HISTORY OF EXHIBITIONS, OBJECTS AND PERFORMANCES SINCE 2008.
THE WORK CAN BE SEEN AS EXERCISES IN OUTSOURCING LABOR AND ITS INVERSE, THE CAPTURING AND RECONTEXTUALISATION OF LABOR THROUGH/AS PERFORMANCE.
THIS INTEREST HAS DEVELOPED THROUGH A PRACTICE DEFINED BY CONTINGENCY, DEPENDENCY, CREATING FROM SLOW COMMUNAL THOUGHT PROCESSES. OTHER CONCERNS INCLUDE ZERO INVESTMENT MATERIAL PRODUCTION, BOOTLEGGING AND PIRACY AS FORM, RESOURCE REDIRECTION, AND NONLINEAR TIMESCALES.
1975-2011 is a collection of physical documents, artworks, and online information related to creative practices in Miami since 1975, gathered through first-person recollections and documentation. The goal was to capture the essence of these creative practices and preserve them for future generations. The methodology employed in this project was to break down the creative practices into ten-year intervals and initiate conversations with colleagues to document their experiences in Miami. Each conversation led to a new set of peers, which further extended the archive. The ephemera, artwork, and documentation collected were digitized and returned, while artworks were purchased for one dollar, under the condition that the work be donated anonymously to the museum after the exhibition or else be returned to the artist. To ensure that the archive and works were preserved, a contract was created, which stated that after the exhibition, the works and archive would be donated anonymously to the museum. The artworks would exist autonomously in the collection and never be associated with the project or restaged as a larger performative artwork by the artist/instigator of the donation. Unfortunately, despite these efforts, the MOCA North Miami never made any effort to facilitate the next steps in the project. In 2021, the digital archive of 1975-2011 was donated to The Vasari Project at the Miami-Dade Public Library System.
