Mark Allen, founding director of Machine Project, will give an informal talk at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London as part of their Friday Salon series.
The talk will focus on Machine’s use of non-traditional exhibition spaces for the presentation of events as a form of curatorial practice. Topics discussed will include the changing role of documentary strategies for representing performance and time based work, an overview of artist run curatorial initiatives in Los Angeles, and the potential for experimental and process based methodologies to move past models of success and failure. Please note that this event does not take place at Machine Project, nor even in Machine Project’s time zone, but at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, The Mall, London SW1Y 5AH.
