How do archival platforms and practices shift in periods of technological transformation? In collaboration with the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College (CCS Bard), Wendy’s Subway presents a one-day symposium exploring interactions with platforms for the production, distribution, and archiving of time-based artworks. The program brings together artistic and institutional practices that engage in dialogue with these shifts, attentive to how they call into question categories of liveness, ownership, and performance. From Franklin Furnace’s pioneering experiments in Internet-based performance to Molly Soda’s decades-long collaboration with social media platforms and Coleman Collins’s latest examinations of the relationship between digital and physical worlds, the program asks: How can artistic practice engage with both the uncertainty and possibility of emergent technology? Across a workshop, screening, and panel discussion, the symposium tracks the ways in which these paradigm shifts reflect back into the work itself. Program + 1:30–2:30pm | 𝘐 <3 𝘍𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘴: Workshop with Molly Soda [free, with RSVP] + 2:45–4pm | 𝘚𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘓𝘪𝘷𝘦: Screening with films by Coleman Collins, Irina Danilova, Molly Soda, and Rae C. Wright + 4:15—5:30pm | 𝘛𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯: Panel discussion with Coleman Collins, Fang-Yu Liu, Molly Soda, and Harley Spiller To accompany the program 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴, the featured shelf 𝘓𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘯𝘥 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 gathers a selection of titles from Wendy’s Subway and publications by Franklin Furnace, which explore diverse ways of documenting and archiving personal and cultural memory. Ranging from digital and online platforms to small-scale publishing, such as handmade books and zines, this selection considers the changing possibilities and methods through which we record and share our everyday lives with strangers and communities. This symposium was developed through a graduate course at CCS Bard led by Kathy Carbone, and was organized by Lila Gould, Bruna Grinsztejn, Gladys Lou, and Emily Nola.

Please join me for the first reading group session for my thesis exhibition, Assume Form on Thursday, April 16th at 5:30 PM! This session, we’ll be joined by @edhalter to discuss a text by Kodwo Eshun from the Abstract Culture pamphlet series, “Abducted by Audio”. Also, join us afterwards at Avery Theater where @edhalter will be screening 2 films very relevant to this discussion: John Akomfrah's The Last Angel of History and John Coney's Space is the Place! The reading group sessions are informal meetings in which we’ll discuss the texts of the CCRU and their collaborators.

Excited to share my thesis exhibition opens on Saturday April 4th at the Hessel Museum of Art, Bard College! “Assume Form” reimagines what exactly alchemized within the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit (CCRU), a para-academic collective convened in 1995. Through a highly interdisciplinary practice they attempted to expand the limits of theoretical production, reckoning with new technologies and their distinct historical moment. Via the artworks, music, magazines, and essays produced by the CCRU and its collaborators, the exhibition creates an imagined space in which the ongoing resonances of this highly influential group begin assuming form. Grateful to the many interlocutors I’ve had on this project, especially the artists, the staff and faculty of CCS Bard, and my incredible cohort who’s exhibitions will also be on view as part of “Everything That Happens Will Happen Today.” Would be thrilled to se you there! Limited seating available on a roundtrip bus from NYC for the opening April 4th. DM me or check the CCS website for details. Can’t wait to share this exhibition with you 🤍

<47th WHITE NOISE x space n.n. : notes from oblivion 망각으로부터의 기록> notes from oblivion dwells in the impasse: a state of permanent reverberation and oscillation. Taking as both conceptual inspiration and source material Gregg Araki’s The Living End(1992), the exhibition proposes the loop as a structure of containment, but also of revelatory potential. Utilizing recursive processes to manipulate light, sound, and video, bell’s work explores how political and social structures of containment and oppression are individually lived and felt. How might we attune to these familiar cycles? What might we begin to notice, to anticipate? 뮌헨에서 열리는 space N.N과 화이트노이즈의 두 번째 협업 전시, 케릭 벨의 <망각으로부터의 기록>은 교착 상태, 영구적인 반향과 진동의 상태에 거주한다. Gregg Araki의 The Living End (1992)를 구상적 주제와 원자료로 활용한 작업은 루프를 억압의 구조이자 각성의 가능성의 구조로 제안한다. 빛, 소리, 영상을 반복적인 형태로 조작함으로써 케릭 벨의 작업은 정치적·사회적 억압과 구속의 구조가 개인적으로 어떻게 경험되고 느껴지는지를 탐구한다. 우리는 어떻게 이러한 순환에 익숙해지는 것일까? 우리는 무엇을 새롭게 알아차리고, 예측할 수 있을까? carrick bell (b. 1981, Anchorage, AK) is a Berlin-based video artist and PhD researcher at the University of Applied Arts, Vienna. Their work has been shown at Kunsthalle Exnergasse, Charim Gallery, KH7artspace, Brooklyn Pavilion of the Shanghai Biennial, and BAM.
