process over object?

Gestures of Resistance



Visitors to the Museum of Contemporary Craft in Portland, Oregon, will be able to observe the day-to-day studio practices of eight artists as they participate in a conceptually provocative and communally based art performance. Working sequentially over two-day to three-week periods, the artists, comprised of six individuals and one pair and ranging from woodworkers to a seamstress, will work in the museum’s first floor gallery. There they will add to, modify, or subtract from the objects of their colleagues. In doing so, the artists will physically illustrate the game of “Telephone,” in which the initial and final phrases, in this case environments, are almost guaranteed to be different.
