For the upcoming months we had planned to present "SPAMM - 4BR3 4 tU4 M3NT3, D35con3c+4", a digital collective exhibition curated by Zaratan in collaboration with Systaime (aka Michäel Borras).
Our initial proposal for this show was to physically present part of the collection of SPAMM the Super Modern Art Museum (http://spamm.fr), alternating with works selected by spontaneous application.
The timing for this project is certainly fortuitous: facing the current state of unnatural hibernation related to COVID-19, we can still present digital media and engage with the artistic community in the virtual realm.
Moving away from the physical installing, we elaborated new strategies, starting from questioning what makes an exhibition real. How can we transform and recreate a meaningful and genuine encounter among peoples and artistic creations within the current conditions?
Suddenly the exhibition started to take the shape of an artistic platform: a group of people engaging with the present, rather than a collection of aesthetics objects to be passively contemplated. Considering online culture as an avant-garde force in a collapsing era, for the upcoming 8 weeks we will keep making and spreading art - at home, and world wide simultaneously.
During the gallery opening hours [Thu-Sun, 4-8pm) there will be the transmission of a live stream of videos/animations/gifs, running on Zaratan's facebook page. This stream of digital creations combines artworks from SPAMM’s archive with the works we receive through spontaneous application, and it will keep changing during the duration of the show with the addition of new artworks. Moreover, the project includes a dense program of live event presented in real time online: performances, vj sets, concerts, talks and other forms of virtual interaction which play with the infinite possibility of digital technologies.
These multiple live events allowed us to blur the sense of distance across geographical locations and to gather a complex community of local and international artists, all locked in their house by prescription.
Through this experience we hope to take advantage of digital media's ability to create ruptures with our previous relationship to time and space as well as to previous conceptions of the real and to larger metaphysical issues.
