16 BEAVER
STRATEGIES OF RESISTANCE
This is a web-project which
is developing in relation to a series of conversations regarding Artists/Collectives/Politics.
While its organizational axis will be a growing set of questions and their
resulting threads of discussion/exchang'e, there will also be links to
the various groups and individuals involved. The idea is to engage these
issues while creating new realtionships and networks between groups and
individuals who would otherwise remain isolated. This resource/platform
will be active starting January 15th, although a first public forum already
happened on at 16 Beaver 5th fl, New York on December 13th, 2002.

Counter-Cartographies and Strategies
of Resistance
This web-project is developing in relation
to a series of conversations
regarding Artists/Collectives/Politics. While its organizational axis
will be a growing set of questions and their resulting threads of
discussion/exchange, there will also be links to the various groups and
individuals involved. This resource/platform will be active starting
January 15th.
QUESTIONS REGARDING ART, POLITICS,
COLLECTIVES, AND COLABORATION (Please Add to these questions by writing
to strategies@16beavergroup.org)
Is collective practice inherently more
political than individual
practice?
What issues do you feel are most pressing
today for
cultural workers concerned with politics?
What do you feel cultural workers can/should
be doing
in the current atmosphere of right wing nationalisms
and unquestioned U.S. Conservatism (worldwide)?
What collectives/initiatives have been
formative to your practice? Why?
How can we bridge generational/age divisions
among
generally sympathetic political viewpoints?
What is civil disobedience today? How
can previous
forms of civil disobedience be reformulated and
practiced now?
How can we work against the social and
political
restrictions imposed by market identities, academic
institutions, museums and galleries, corporate and
state funding, media censorship, protest regulations,
etc?
What tactics/strategies of political
or collective practice from past
experiences do you find useful/useless?
What problems have you had when asked
to present work
outside of its intended social context/format? What strategies have
helped you overcome this problem?
