Alternative Contemporaneities:Temporary Autonomous Zones (TAZ)

Opening Reception

Saturday, March 21, 7PM

This group exhibition builds on the work: Temporary Autonomous Zones (TAZ) by Hakim Bey (Peter Lamborn Wilson). The project is curated by Richard Haden.

TAZ “alludes to creating temporary spaces that elude formal structures of control…thus creating the foundation for authenticity and spontaneity”. Richard Haden proposes to articulate the exhibition through TAZ and the ways in which it has to do with recreating an “intentional community” (IC) which relates to how past communities purposefully organized in various forms as collectives, to succeed as small villages or townships, guilds, radical groups, et cetera, that eventually gave way to controlling socio-economic structures, which eventually led to the loss of authentic empowerment.

On view March 21 – May 30

Third Space : Inventing the Possible at MoCA, North Miami

noname

THIRD SPACE : Inventing The Possible

This visual story is one that has not yet been told. Not because there is no storyteller to tell it, but because it exists only in fragments each assuming its own autonomous existence removed from the constraints of mainstream history.

THIRD SPACE : Inventing the Possible is the story of visual artists who defy their otherness and enter the realm of 21st century aesthetics not only to lay their historic claim on it, but also to challenge the framework which defines and polices its boundaries. This exhibition engages Miami artists in their articulations of the lines of continuities. What comes out is that we do not cease to be related simply because separated by race, nationality or color.

Open Process features new work by four young Miami artists commissioned by MOCA. The artists were given access to museum resources, including its archives and permanent collection, and received professional guidance as they researched and created their projects. The exhibition provides the artists with an opportunity to develop previously unrealized ideas and reconsider their artistic practices within the context of the museum.

Open Process is curated by Ruba Katrib MOCA Associate Curator and organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami.
