RM ARCHIVE PROJECT
RM Archive workshop, Thurs 25, 6:30

Hello James
Please join us for a workshop this Thursday
The RM Archive Part 1
// Thursday 25 June 2009, 6:30pm start.
And since it's a dinner time talk we will be providing food and drink
/ room, ground floor, 295 Karangahape Road, Newton, Auckland, New
Zealand.
---------------------------------------------
With over 12 years worth of images, exhibition invites, publications
and artists ephemera sitting in boxes in our storeroom, RM decided
that it was high time that we establish a better and more accessible
archive. An archive that enables us to give new life to this old
material, but one that can also be shaped by the artists and arts
community with a vested interest in it.
Whilst in South Korea for the SAP residency
<http://saptap.egloos.com/955577> William Hsu introduced us to the
InsaArtSpace Archive, an incredible facility that has become a model
for the approach that we might be able to take:
----
The IAS aims to stand for making an active archive with the help of
(Lee Mi-kyeong's) 'Live Archive' and 'Pidgin Collective', a radical
archive that seeks out highly creative and innovative projects, a
collaborative archive between artists and researchers, an open
archive with a loose and intermittent network that enables public
participation; in short, an experimental, flexible and evolving
archive. The IAS Archive has sought and professed to unfold dynamic
activities so that it is not simply a 'reservoir' of reference
materials. In other words, the IAS Archive sorts, collects, applies
and utilizes reference materials. To speak of it metaphorically, the
IAS Archive is a watermill that grinds and reshapes the reference
materials so they can be ready for later uses.
----
(Some of you will perhaps have seen part of the IAS archive in the
exhibition Activating Korea at the Govett-Brewster in 2007)
Whilst talking with artists about our plans for the new space we
realised that many of you have already seen similar archive projects
to the one we have in mind. For this workshop we have invited a
number of people to share their reflections on these projects, so
that we can begin the discussion around how we might make our archive
a more useful and dynamic resource.
We would also like to invite you, dear reader, if you are in the
neighbourhood on Thursday evening, to share your thoughts and ideas
so that we can begin to develop what we hope will be a critical part
of our new space.
We will be providing food and drink to help stimulate the
conversation and hopefully warm up a winter's evening at the gallery.
And don't forget it's late night at the ARTSPACE reading room, and we
should be done in time for those who'd like to catch up with those
journals.
------
Many thanks to Otto von Busch and all of the participants at the
recent workshop, it was a phenomenal success. And thanks also to
Asumi Mizuo and Akiko Diegel for their recent show. Documentation of
the exhibition, Otto's workshop and of Cellulite Rose's work will be
coming to our website soon.

TOO MUCH OF EVERYTHING BLESS UPDATE
BLESS are involved in Too Much of Everything curated by ffiXXed (our first show). There is discussion about the inclusion of a custom piece, a Mirror curtain with a BLESS No.29 Wallscape on the back. These Wallscapes are totally transformative and create 'more' through some dynamic of sincere illusion. It is an incredible piece of interior design. It overhauls space and creates something new, expanding and contracting, playing with what already exists and extending.
