SELF ORGANISING SYSTEM: Formulation of a concept by negotiation #4


THE JAM POT OF IDEAS
An unusual body of work will be collaboratively produced for the exhibition that confluences and contains four different artists. Four people make six variations in possible collaboration but what is inherent in this group experiment-exhibition, is that all four people have worked together in some way shape or form before. Therein How We Live is an extension on this, a conserve of ideas, working patterns and enjoyed developments. In turn this ‘jam pot’ of ideas is also a resource for each artist to dip in to.

OSMOSIS OF PARTICULARITY
In being so multi-directed the nature of the exhibition rides upon the concept of its very happening, its build up, duration, aftermath and all-encompassing structure. What makes this work is the reliance that each artist has on the other, and the integrity of their own knowledge-base. Thus, by amalgamating individual formulae, therein is a collected force that strengthens particular elements to ascertain others within an artistic-organism. A sort of osmosis happens as each individual takes their turn to stand on the shoulders of the others (particularly Bruce’s, he’s very tall) to produce different levels of definition.

THE TRAVEL GAME THAT MAKES A FICTION/SENSE
Essentially it is a game, perhaps, played with loose rules and four different colours / characters / artisans. There are stages to the game play, the confliction and construction of a travel diary that each part takes a turn in writing. Hidden notes are to be made throughout – to reach the end game. The end game is the ‘exhibition’, something that could well be the end point, the winning centre. It is hard to define and that’s what makes it novel as we also create it to be fictitious in design. In some instances the definition may have to be read in reverse, out loud, for it to be understood.
