Studio Tour 2008 - artists from WACK! @ PS1
the walking tour
P.S.1 WACK! Open Studio Tour on Monday February 18, 2008 2 - 6 pm
P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center presents WACK! Art and the Feminist Revolution, the first comprehensive, historical exhibition to examine the international foundations and legacy of feminist art.
The presentation of WACK! at P.S.1 offers a timely opportunity to tour the studios of some of the featured artists. View 70s and current work while gaining a deeper understanding of the depth of production of these artists within their own environment. SoHo is where the feminist revolution in New York City began and flourished, and eventually became a magnet for feminists around the world.
Thank you to all who attended the SOHO walking tour. It was a wonderful success. We appreciate everyone who came and made it a wonderful day. Please click on selections on the map to view images and video from the tour.

NETWORKED : CFDB
dare gallery
THE COALITION FOR DARING BEHAVIOUR (CFDB)
Launched in January 2008, The Coalition for Daring Behaviour is an on-line artist project that strives to facilitate a global exchange of dares, double dares, and possibly triple dog dares. An ever-expanding network of international artists/daredevils, the CFBD promotes creative collaborations of a spontaneous, non-traditional and, most importantly, daring nature.
The CFDB's website serves as a virtual gallery and as an archive of all dares submitted and executed over the course of the project.
Artists / daredevils wishing to join the CFDB are warmly invited to propose a dare.
ROUND #1 - Spring 2008
CLICK ON ANY DARE TO VIEW
I dare you to sell your soul on Ebay.
I dare you to make me laugh. !!!
I dare you to make a stuffed version, from felt and only felt, of your spirit animal and depict it dying due to a flood.
I dare you to take all the kitchen knives you can find, (buy them from a dollar/pound shop if you must) and hand them out to random people on the street. Don't say a word, just stand there, handing out large, sharp knives.
I dare you to write an anonymous seven-sentence confession and print it onto seven posters and put those posters up at seven bus stops and leave space on the posters for seven comments and then document the results after seven days.
I dare you to make your earliest childhood memory a tangible experience for another. !!!
I dare you to enter the ATM section of a bank after hours and, in the open space, perform and document a two-minute dance piece, playing for the security camera as your audience. Try to get access to the tape afterwards by talking to security.
I dare you to make a puppet with your hand (the kind where you make a fist and your middle thumb becomes the mouth and you'd draw the eyes on the side of your pointer finger) and go to a bar... [more]
I dare you to brush a stranger's teeth. !!!
I dare you to show up to an exhibition opening at a prominent art gallery, either provincial, university or parallel, with measuring tape and notepad/clipboard/paper... [more]
I dare you to completely read and digest (through oral consumption, of course) any reading material (of at least 20 pages) by Greenberg... [more]
I dare you to spend an entire 24 hours drawing... [more]
I dare you to write a submission (artist statement and/or a proposal, along with all the accompanying documentation) in sonnet form (or with some kind of rhyming scheme so that's easily sung)... [more]
I dare you to save the world. !!!

Networked
New Media Room
April 17- May 17, 2008
Curated by Donna Kessinger
The world of networked art is expansive and constantly evolving daily with new technology and applications.
Networked is an effort to take into consideration both literal and physical interpretations based on an open call for networked art on a local and international level. This small group survey is an attempt to look at the manifestation of net-based interactive projects, and physical attempts to escape from virtual realities, resulting in work with a more personal connection - going back to an idea of networks having to do with people and the way we live and work, both alone and in community.
