Dear Rozalinda,
I'm updating my cv and wonder if you could send me information on the
exhibition on collective practice. Where and when was it shown/made
available?
I spent the spring semester at Emory University, and travelled quite a
bit, but never got to Florida. I still hope to meet you some time!
My latest art event was in Berlin. I was invited to discuss my work
"Helena" at radiotesla, the home of free radio in Berlin. They had
broadcast "Helena" several times; this time, there was a discussion
with other artists and radio people. I'm working on a subway
documentary for broadcast in Europe (8 cities) this summer.
How are things with you?
Best wishes,
Marlena

Dear friends
If you are engaged in collective practice, we would love to hear from
you!!!
Open Call for a traveling archive and nomadic meeting-place on
collectivity and critical collective/cooperative cultural action. We
need your contributions !
First stop:
Oliver Gallery, Tampa FL
November 2004
We will travel in the US in Florida, Nashville, San Francisco, Chicago
(?) and Denver; to Athens Greece, Iasi Romania and Budapest Hungary
Description:
We are gathering materials on collective and cooperative forms of
creativity, critique, resistance, intervention, scholarship and
artistic production. This project does not claim to be a complete,
exhaustive or representative archive. This is an effort to connect
different social networks, to actualize and investigate the potential
of public spaces. In late October/early November, the archive will be
available to the public in its first phase as a room/lounge/resource
center/production space/junction/meeting place at the Oliver Gallery.
This will also be a staging area for actions during the US elections.
We do not limit the ways in which our space may be used or may serve
as a resource. Our multi-purpose room will be open 24 hours a day, we
have available internet-linked computers, VHS and DVD players (NTSC
and PAL), a growing collection of paper resources and reference
material, books, pamphlets, print-outs, Xerox copies, photos,
posters…and free water and coffee. We will have viewing, seating,
lounging, napping and play areas. We also hope to provide a free Xerox
machine and free CD’s for copying information. The room will be
available to local teachers and community organizations with no space
of their own, collaborative projects in need of production space and
local bands in need of rehearsal space.
Our archive will travel to other spaces willing to host it and be open
for public use. Information/materials will continuously be solicited
and added. If you are engaged in collective practice, we would love to
hear from you. Please share with us any material that speaks to your
work: from documentation of projects to reflections on the dynamics of
cooperation
Any of the following can be extremely useful sources of information or
reference for your work:
o digital material: CD’s, DVD’s, digital files (text, video , image,
sound; we can arrange for uploading and downloading to our server)
o printed materials (books, catalogs, magazines, pamphlets, posters,
coasters, zines…)
o reproductions (Xerox copies, photographs, slides, computer
print-outs..)
o documentation of your work in any format, from text to audio
recordings of phone interviews with us
o letters, emails, postcards
o objects
o url’s, for the project web site
Please send materials to:
Rozalinda Borcila
Visual and Performing Arts, FAH 110
University of South Florida
Tampa, FL 33620, USA
Please contact us if shipping expenses are prohibitive -- we are
trying to organize satellite gatherers who may be able to help.
For the first phase, we are looking for materials before the end of
September -- additional calls for materials will be posted
periodically.
Questions, comments? please contact Rozalinda Borcila
borc-@arts.usf.edu . This project is only part of the larger,
on-going effort to learn about, historicize, understand and make
public different forms of critical collective intelligence. We are
also soliciting materials on the various attempts to theorize
collectivity. For each installment, our growing collection will be
restructured and recategorized -- we will invite our participants to
offer interpretive interventions into the collection. We seek to
connect with related initiatives to share information, resources,
experience and energy.
