GALLERY 1 & 2: SEPT 3 – 20 ‘NO WERK’ by Guest Curator Ace Wagstaff
GALLERY One & Two
NO WERK
Curated by ACE WAGSTAFF
What is curating and what is ‘the work’? These are the two questions that NO WERK seeks to address and experiment with as our culture, aided by technology, processes, views, curates and documents more than ever before. For artists, the work that they produce exists beyond itself once online, and the control that they have over their intellectual property is eliminated and it becomes possible e-curatorial content for anyone, anywhere, in any context.
The premise of NO WERK sought images from artists of their work, but not their actual work, it also asked them to willingly relinquish control of the representation of their work and bear the brunt of unknown curatorial whim. The second gallery will be comprised entirely of images of artwork found openly on the internet by artists whose permission was not gained prior to the exhibition.
