how's this

Artist Meeting (A.M.) is a synthesis of aesthetic inventions and community actions. It’s 13(?) participants, including 2 artist groups, 2 twins, Nam June Paik’s video technician, and a pioneer net artist, get together on a regular basis to brainstorm interventions and hatch creative actions. As a part of this work the group is inventing a financial mechanism that is claimed will “short circuit the financial basis of the global art market and provide a new model for funding, presenting and preserving experimental art”

note: the specific references give us an immediate potential audience and collector/dealer pool.

I like this. Two things -

I like this. Two things - community action might imply some kind of socially engaged work from us, and I don't know of any community action that we are doing but us making our art together. I suggest replacing 'community' with 'group'?

A quibble, but 2 twins sound like a redundancy, just twins will do.


Neo-Situationist

I think that part of whats happening is a situationist http://libcom.org/thought/situationists-an-introduction position vis-a-vis the art world and the marketing-fashion-commodity-image-object circulation in the art world. What I mean is that everyone in the group chooses to participate in a way that is outside the self commodification of a certain part the art world. At this point it's simply a discussion in images, actions and sounds. We will know more after this weekend when we do our first event. I have a feeling this may be seen as Neo-Situationist.
