We are pleased to announce our new series of curatorial explorations wherein artists/writers/curators are invited to create projects based on our collections. This is the first offering :
OLD + NEW (Misinterpretations
and Reevaluations)
by Tara Slaughter
The first series of items include elements from the scrap
box, where two bits only cost a dollar. The thread, if you’re looking for one:
old meanings are neglected in hopes of constructing newer, increasingly foolish
ones.
Bio:
New to Montreal, hailing from Montana, fresh out of Oregon.
Currently interested in situating found objects in contexts
that render them absurd, pathetic, or ridiculous.
Has been interested in the future (but now it’s stupid) and Antillean
Giant Rice Rats (but now they’re extinct).
