Not Untitled

This output is one of four parts (included here) that frames an enquiry into the relative value of using these parts (an Academic publication, a formal Conference hosted by a prestigious Institution, an exhibition in a Institution with a world reknowned exhibiting programme, and a comprehensive website that is regularly updated) for addressing, framing, exploring and archiving work that is interventionist, incidental, often unattributed and relatively invisible in an academic context. The proposition motivating the research framed by this output is that the artwork in Cultural Hijack offers valuable and under-tapped resources to the art world and the world of the activist. Cultural Hijack will now tour under an innovative structure: Previous Exhibition: becomes an Archive in the new Exhibition Live Programme in the previous exhibition becomes the Exhibition in the new Exhibition. The new Live Programme will allow the commissioning of new site related work (that will become the next exhibition in the following City). CONTRAvention will continue to debate the content in relation to the context. In this way Cultural Hijack will travel the world, building an archive of this relatively invisible practice, agitating, provoking, and consolidating so as to allow a comprehensive rethinking of intervention as a tool for the artist, artivist and activist.
