The Journal of Aesthetics and Protest Editorial Collective (Myself, Marc Herbst, Christina Ulke)- got its hands on a typewriter and the last two events were text submissionsThis one's called "Artwork Where Donor/Collector Helps To Develop Community With LACE In The Form of A Picnic". I don't know if it's proper to call "art" a scrap of paper, even more something made specifically for a fundraiser auction, but I kinda like what the piece did. It asked the buyer to host a picnic within the year at Hollywood's Delongpre Park for LACE's staff and the 25 people who signed up to go. Miraculously someone stepped up to bat to be the Donor/Collector.
The other piece (actually 7 sheets of paper) was right next door at Woodbury College's Sustainability
Show. Here the text on the wall was made up of lists submitted by the
other artists in the exhibition- dutifully typed by Marc. We asked
these other people to tell us what sustained and informed them and the
work they did. The lists where both lyrical and practical.
