And the Seasons; They Go Round and Round | Publication

As the final installment to the two exhibitions curated by Carson Chan in the spring of 2010, 0047 is proud to announce the launch of And the Seasons; They Go Round and Round, the catalog to the exhibitions of the same names. Featuring essays by New Yorker writer Nick Paumgarten, artist and writer Patricia Reed, and economist Amin Samman, the catalog seeks to expand the investigation of the overall geometry of our social, aesthetic and economic life that was initiated by the exhibitions.

The Anxious Prop, Case 4: Reviewing Making-Visible

Open Phrases, cut-out paper print for The Anxious Prop, Case 4

Available for download at: http://www.theanxiousprop.org

This feuilleton is both a sporadic publication and a loose collective operating under the aegis of The Anxious Prop. That which is common is the desire to work with two looping, yet sequential parameters: 1. We are into the labor of producing forms, shapes, and figures as a method to explore collective knowledge by challenging the discourse of digital fabrication; 2. These forms, shapes, and figures emerge with the disposition to be activated, triggering their condition as theatrical objects and their consequent instrumental or anthropological role in the world.

Case 4 is co-directed by Jan Bovelet and Luis Berríos-Negrón, and contains contributions by Caitlin Berrigan, Luis Berríos-Negrón, Jan Bovelet, Rick Buckley, Eric Ellingsen, Tim Gough, Mendel Heit, Alexandra Hopf, Anna Kostreva, Boris Kajmak, Miodrag Ku, Fotini Lazaridou-Hatzigoga, Pia Marais, MIT Museum, Olivia Plender, The Product, Hans-Jörg Rheinberger, Carrie Roseland, Salottobuono, Gabi Schillig, George Stiny.

THEY GO ROUND AND ROUND

23 April — 23 May 2010
0047 Oslo Norway

Artists: AIDS-3D (US) // Caitlin Berrigan (US) // Daisy Ginsberg (UK) // Elín Hansdóttir (IS) // Markus Miessen (DE) // Nicolas Dusollier (FR) // Paolo Chiasera (IT) // Patricia Reed (CA) // Ralf Pflugfelder (DE) // Sabina Grasso (IT) // Sascha Pohflepp (DE) // Susanne Gerber (DE) // Thomas Eller (DE) // Valerie Kolakis (CA)

They Go Round and Round is the second of two exhibitions curated by Carson Chan at 0047 dealing with the structures, tangible or otherwise, that pervade reality. Several of the pieces shown will purposely problematize the boundaries between the artworks, the gallery and the public sphere, and the blurred boundary between art and architecture.

INTERPLAY (review)

Portland Phoenix: Annie Larmon, “Interplay: the ICA’s concept-driven show,” February 17, 2010

“Caitlin Berrigan’s 2009 video Transfers is simple and elemental. It is the quietest and least-involved piece in “Exchange,” a group show at the Institute of Contemporary Art at Maine College of Art, but it is also the most striking.”

And Things of That Nature | Opens May 15

Dear friends & colleagues,

After two years at MIT, I will be getting my SMVisS (pronounced “smiz-viz”). That is a Master of Science in Visual Studies. Whatever that means, you are warmly invited to the opening of our exhibition “And Things of That Nature” this Friday, May 15 from 6-8pm (details below). I will also be doing a participatory performance on Friday, June 5th from 6-8pm. I hope you can join me if you’re in Boston!

Also check out the big fat Younger Than Jesus Directory from the New Museum, in which you will find yours truly amidst literally hundreds of awesome young artists.

very best,

Caitlin

Younger Than Jesus Directory

http://tinyurl.com/ytjdirectory

“Younger than Jesus: The Artists Directory” is the product of some of the most wide-ranging research in the field of contemporary art in years: the first ‘Younger than Jesus’ triennial at the New Museum. Working with a team of 200 ‘insiders’ (curators, writers, teachers, critics, bloggers and artists) scattered across the globe, curators Massimiliano Gioni, Lauren Cornell and Laura Hoptman have selected the 500 best international artists under the age of 33, from which they will curate the exhibition component of the triennial in spring 2009. While most generational exhibitions are retrospective, this one will be predictive, anticipating the future and revealing upcoming trends. “Younger than Jesus: The Artists Directory” will therefore be an unparalleled resource for curators, collectors, dealers and critics. By serving as a handbook to currrent artistic innovation, it will also appeal to artists, designers and anyone curious about the latest developments in visual culture.
