msdm: mobile strategies of display and mediation
exhibition: Outsourcing
dates: 13 November - 06 December 2002
venue: TheSpace inIVA 6-8 Standard Place, Rivington Street, London EC2
open: Wednesday - Friday, 12noon - 6pm
preview: Tuesday 12 November, 6pm - 8pm
msdm (mobile strategies of display and mediation) is a collective laboratory that explores the mobility, distribution and presentation of artworks.
Initiated in 1998 by artist Paula Roush, msdm attempts to negotiate
the socio-political structures that intersect with the creative
industries. msdm operates across many different platforms, engaging
elements of contemporary culture including web streaming, brand
identity, computer gaming, activism, statistics and software design.
Outsourcing - when a corporation subcontracts labour that is often
cheap and located in low-cost (i.e. non-western) economic zones - has
been a central objection of the anti-globalisation movement for some
time. msdm's new work Outsourcing interrogates the relationships
between art, labour and productive systems by exploring the different
facets of branding, commercial arts funding and anti-corporate
activism. Outsourcing questions the outmoded categories of the artist,
curator, critic and funder and proposes that the entire chain of
cultural production is an interlocking network.
Additionally, the title Outsourcing makes reference to the way in
which the exhibition's contents are outsourced from the geographical
and socio-political context of inIVA.
Outsourcing features different components that have been outsourced to
other artists, among them a 'bot' software device, Coybott, that
robotically searches the internet for information and a publication
about labour, social thought and aesthetic production. The core of the
exhibition will contain elements relating to rooms from different
periods in the Geffrye Museum in Shoreditch. The project will also
include parallel activities, such as a film programme curated by
Anthony Iles and a collection of audio-visual narratives on work and
labour presented by El Sueno Colectivo. On Friday 22 November 2002,
2pm at TheSpace inIVA, Zeigam Azizov (artist/critic) will be in
conversation with Paula Roush on the 'Domestication of Visual
Pleasure'. This will be followed by a guided walk to the Geffrye
Museum. (Refreshments will be provided.)
Outsourcing is produced in collaboration with sound artist and media
activist Sasha Costanza-Chock and Octavi Comeron, an artist and
publisher. Outsourcing addresses the relationship between 'hardware'
(as the physical production of goods displayed in the exhibition
space) and 'software' (as the production of meaning and codes via both
the 'producer' and the audience).
Outsourcing is the final project for inIVA's Soft Season, a series of
events, collaborations and interventions that explores the creative
collision between artist and curator.
