Could We Have A Conversation? / 2010

Collaboration with Rachel Moore as part of a larger collaborative video installation for “The Space Between” at the Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art in Thessaloniki, Greece.

Artists in Athens, Thessaloniki, and Chicago began a collaborative project titled Push the Envelope. Was it possible to effectively communicate and work together across oceans, utilizing the space of the Internet? Through video conferencing and the project’s website, the group discussed the personal impact and affect of relevant current issues within each country: the economic crisis, contemporary art practice within the respective countries, and personal geographies.

For the culminating exhibition, The Space Between, the artists developed questions in response to previous conversations, both for themselves and for the audience, and used video technology to create work in response.
