Outsourcing, is an outcome of MSDM's project for InIVA's recent SOFT series

 

See: http://www.iniva.org/season/soft/project_06

 

 

Details on the publication:

outsourcing: the soft borders of art practice, the idea of labour, the link

to the globalised productive system. to ask: what are the relations between

the social and aesthetic thought? where do the dynamics of art, production

and the branded economy meet and collide? not the corporate practice but a

critical model to research the formal and the informal bonds - economic,

emotional, irrational - that are being thread between cultural institutions

and the autonomous cells that are today¹s freelance cultural workers. not a

themed group show around the notion of outsourcing but rather to outsource

from a network of collaborators and the geographical and cultural location
of 

the gallery, to think about the practice of exhibition-making. between a

curatorial commission, a project space, an installation, a site - specific

work, a public dialogue, a networked practice, an archive of collections, a

collection of databases.

 

 

The publication includes contributions by melanie keen, zeigam azizov,

anthony iles, montse romani, virginia villaplana and maria ruido ( el sueno

colectivo), diego ferrari, octavi comeron, sasha costanza-chock, renauld

courvoisier, consol rodriguez, and others.
