-BROOKLAND:

Not to be confused with Brookland, Washington, D.C., U.S.A.
´Brookland´ is the name by which Helmut Grokenberger refers to New York City 
district, Brooklyn, in Jim Jarmusch´s film ´A Night on Earth´.   Helmut 
Grokenberg, an East Germany immigrant who has just arrived in New York City in 
the early nineties, works as a taxi driver while still managing to polish his 
English.   His first costumer´s destination is Brooklyn, location to which 
Helmut keeps referring as Brookland throughout the taxi round.  A specific 
location which the German man will end up calling ´New York, New York´ at the 
end of the taxi ride.

Ars Publica - Curatorial Report, March 2007

2007-04-04 Thread Ana Buigues
http://www.plus.el-estudio.net/harte/arspublica0307.html





ARS PUBLICA – Ana Buigues´ report. March 27th, 2007.

 

What follows is the curator’s report on the development of the Ars Publica 
project  http://www.arspublica.noemata.net/

based on the theoretical context for the ¨raison d´être¨ of this net.art 
project.

 

The inception of the Ars Publica project started in the second half of 2005, 
when we, the Ars Publica team, in view of the lack of a painstaking study about 
the art market from the artists´ point of view, felt the need to fill this void 
through the realization of a study that would include art theory and case 
studies in a project that would be a combination between an academic article 
and an art project.  After NKR (Norsk Kulturråd - Arts Council Norway) approved 
our application and granted us financial support in January 2006,  via the  
Kunst og ny teknologi fond (Art and Technology Fund), we were able to conduct 
most part of the research. Bjørn Magnhildøen as net.artist and programmer 
established the ¨physical¨[1] point of departure - the Ars Publica web site, 
which includes the net art sale exhibition, the library and the museum.  Thanks 
to Magnhildøen´s  technical implementation of the dynamics of electronic 
commerce the Ars Publica web site is completely prepared for th!
 e interaction with the public and customers.

 

Until now we have focused on the general public front, having collected records 
about the responses obtained from the public who accessed Ars Publica from the 
Internet, as well as from a few off line performances, as Magnhildøen explains 
in his report of the project:

http://arspublica.noemata.net/blog/2007/04/rapport-ars-publica-42007.html.

 

 

In the next months we will concentrate on the marketing of our 
project on the elitist front: established art and culture institutions.  We are 
presently working on the design of CDs and DVDs to be distributed to world wide 
libraries, museums, and universities.  The contents of the CDs and DVDs will 
consist of a version of the Ars Publica project accompanied by a critical essay 
written by the curator, Ana Buigues, contextualizing this art project.  The 
essay is still under development and what follows are excerpts from some of its 
sections.  The entire text will be published in the Ars Publica web site as 
soon as it is completed.

 

Ars Publica : The Art Market and Corporate Parody

---

 

The tradition of corporate parody in conceptual art and literature, includes, 
among others, the works of General Idea, Yves Klein, and Robert Morris with 
pieces about monetary value of art, or Hans Haacke's interventions in social 
economy, like the series of Manhattan Real Estate Holdings, 1971 --  as well as 
his collaboration with Bourdieu, in the dialogue Libre-échange, 1994.

 

Ars Publica basically is a commentary on the paradox that while art constitutes 
another type of production to be commercialized, the financial situation in 
which most artists encounter themselves, is due  to a sub-paradox that responds 
on the one hand to the irrelevant socio-economic value generally associated 
with art; and on the other hand with the elitist channels of art 
commercialization. Artworks have come to be considered consumer goods and, as 
such, depend on the laws of offer and demand, functioning within free-market 
structures based on price competition.  However, perhaps these principles 
cannot always be applied to the world of culture and art, and instead of a 
growing 'cultural industry' closely linked to the 'art market,' what artists 
might rather need is certain protection from the State, since there are some 
activities which cannot be measured solely by the economic benefit they 
generate. Neither can the value of a specific artist be determined solely by 
the p!
 rices previously paid for her/his works, or by the promotion art dealers and 
art critics attach to a certain type of art or artist (based on both their 
economic self interest and personal preferences, which, in turn, may also be 
linked to their connections to the art market).

 

The project Ars Publica is a mélange of interventions within social networks: 
what we know as situationism, urban art/action, political protest, performance, 
and net.art, with an emphasis on the economies of [artistic] loss and 
[economic] profit. The foundations of Situationism, and Fluxus will present the 
existing analogies among the Internet networks, urban zones, and social 
structures that mediate our perception of the world, and how they can be 
challenged through certain actions and interventions.  The Baudrillardian 
concepts of simulacrum and spectacle, are also included here to deal with the 
distorted, and accommodated messages transmitted by the media, and in this case 
through the Internet, and how it has fulfilled the needs for the consumers of a 
society of spectacle

Dear friends and relatives, 

Some family members will be visiting us tomorrow and they will stay for a week. 
 We have prepared and cleaned the house to receive our guests. We started in 
January, little by little fixing that lamp that wasn't working, or organizing 
that bookshelf that was starting to look scary.  During the last week we have 
cleaned a lot.

Conclusion: the house is clean.  We take this oportunity to invite everyone we 
know and care about to visit us - NOW that the house is clean.  Any time within 
a month from today will be fine.  Do not come later because the house will not 
be as clean as now and we'll have to clean it again.  


Thanks.



Estimados amigos y familiares:

Esta semana tenemos invitados que se quedaran en casa una semana.  Hemos 
preparado y limpiado la casa para recibirles.  Ya empezamos en enero, poco a 
poco arreglando esa lampara que no funcionaba u organizando esa estanteria que 
daba miedo.   Y durante la ultima semana hemos limpiado a tope.


Conclusion: la casa esta limpia.  Queremos aprovechar esta oportunidad para 
invitar a todo el mundo que conocemos y que queremos para invitaros a que 
vengais a vernos AHORA  que la casa esta limpia.  Cualquier momento dentro del 
proximo nos viene bien.  Por favor no vengais luego porque la casa ya no estara 
tan limpia como ahora y la tendremos que volver a limpiar.

Gracias.

Yes, Lanny, that's cultural globalization    The instructions come in 
Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian, so the whole distribution/packaging is 
simpler.  They didn't have it here before, I knew it from my past life in 
Toronto, but little by little everything is getting everywhere.  Spanish food 
is Mediterranean, and not similar to Mexican, so this type of food is quite 
exotic here ... better known in Northamerica (the tex-mex variant) than in 
Spain :)

Speaking of Mexican food, I recommend the novel  'Like water for Chocolate' by 
Laura Esquivel - magical realism.

know the reasons why my feet get cold at times. It goes like that:
I'd be OK and suddenly I'd get like cold waves  in my foot (usually the left

-the problem is that my stationary phone only rings three times before the 
answering machine picks up the phone, so even though we are still young and we 
can run around the house, very few times we are able to pick up the phone on 
time
-after trying to modify the settings on the phone menu and not being able to do 
it i call the phone company - 
here the monopoly 'telefonica' - because the phone i owe is from the company - 
so i called 1004
.the company refers me to technical support - phone number: 1002
.technical support tells me to call the company that makes that phone model 
Famitel Novo - even though we are not a family really as society will consider 
it.  The Famitel Novo phone is by Sagem. The phone number for that Famitel Novo 
by Sagem is 902 88 77 26
.so, i call this phone, and a recording tells me that to know more about 
technical features of this model one must call the ' Famitel Novo Funciones' by 
dialing 807 50 51 83
.and, so i call that phone but: they tell me that in order to do some tests 
with the problematic phone (a.k.a. Famitel Novo)  i should leave the phone line 
free and call them again from another line.
.i pick up my mobile phone y call this Sagem Famitel Novo place, but then the 
company with which i have my mobile phone contract - 'orange'  tells me that my 
contract does not accept calls to 800 numbers, and i should call customer 
service to get that feature activated.
.i then call 'orange' customer service at number 470 and they tell me that in 
order to get that service activated and be able to call 800 numbers from my 
mobile phone i should send them a fax to the number:
91 206 53 13, and i should include a xerox of my DNI, while i specify in the 
text what the problem is.









.then i get a message on my screen from my partner's computer who is working in 
the living room, asking me if we are having a snack together, so i am going to 
have my snack and then i'll see what i do with the  problem - it only rings 
three times.
