Exhibition realized in cooperation with Eyelevel Gallery, September 2012.
The World Portable Gallery Convention 2012 was an international convention on portable galleries and alternative spaces hosted by Eyelevel Gallery during the month of September 2012.
Against the backdrop of the construction of a massive $164-million convention centre in downtown Halifax—and therefore a huge emphasis on the economic potentials of convening and networking—the project celebrated the variety of spaces artists and others have initiated with the smallest of means.
Investigations were thereby conducted into topics including scale, autonomy, mobility, intimacy, as well as transitions from alternative to established, and the pathways between DIY and entrepreneur.

Italian version:
English version:
Blue Monuments is an anthem for chess champion and failed Russian presidential candidate Garry Kasparov’s political campaign: it is a narrative, incorporating both fact and fiction, with musical elements, including media documents and a notational transcription of Kasparov’s fateful 6 games against Deep Blue. Through it we imagine a history that might have been written otherwise, in a kind of audio retouching.
Performance, text and participation (2012)
As part of the event Under the Fig Tree, Above the Date Tree at HomeShop, July 7th 2012, and installed until August 19th. Another version appeared as part of the project Friends of Freiheit in North Adams, MA, June 2012.
Instructions for Open Participation begins with, as the title suggests, a set of instructions for open participation I had written in advance. Initiating the event, the vinyl-cut lettering is separated out into syllables and/or characters and mixed up.
Working with the resulting fragments, people are invited to participate in the formulation of what they think should constitute instructions for open participation.
The resulting instructions are adhered to the shopfront window.
Some weeks later (on August 4th, 2012), interested passersby inquire about the text on the window. They are invited to reconfigure or add to the instructions for open participation.
I am delighted to participate with them, but I refuse to tell them what my original instructions are. We work on it for several hours on it until we are satisfied that our instructions for open participation are more clear and coherent than the previous version.

Architectural rendering of the proposed Kunsthalle, whose structure morphs between letters borrowed from the font of the Frankfurt street car’s digital signage.
