Part of the Meeting at a Distance series
Constructing frameworks for collaboration, artists working in collective practices execute their own interpretation of shared work. This effort often moves beyond process, and becomes a defining ethos of the artwork itself. Learn more about the intricate hivemind of artist-led collectives with this inside look at collaborative work.
In this installment we join associates of the research collective ESTAR(SER), including D. Graham Burnett, Stevie Knauss, Jessica Palinski, Sal Randolph, and Justin E.H. Smith, to discuss their recent and upcoming projects.
Centrally concerned with problems of attention, ESTAR(SER) explores the history, politics, and practice of the directed senses and the focused mind. Working from an unsteady archive of attentional artifacts and documents, ESTAR(SER) builds installations, publishes texts, and stages occasions for lectures, performances, and collaborative sensory experimentation, in addition to running the Milcom Memorial Reading Room and Attention Library.
MEETING AT A DISTANCE
Meeting at a Distance presents recurring conversations, started in a time of quarantine. The series features artists from the Mana Contemporary community, connecting with each other to discuss this new time, and how it has shifted their practice, process, and thinking.
