Arts collaboratory5/10/2023 ![]() So if you can, throw a buck or two into our virtual rent jar. We aren’t looking to raise millions-just enough to keep the lights on and the creativity flowing. And thanks to crowdsourcing, anyone can help make a difference. We want The Space Between to be the place where East and West Buffalo converge, where horizons broaden and where new collaborators meet.Īt The Space Between, art will be for everyone. We’ll make disciplines collide and help artists broaden their audiences. In the coming year, we’re going to challenge expectations, pressure test new ideas, and show work that’s still in progress. The Space Between aims to change all of that. Almost all of Buffalo’s cultural institutions were built on the West Side of town, reinforcing the misguided notion that art is for some people and not for others. Buffalo’s art world has long reflected this larger problem. For decades, Main Street has divided Buffalo into two distinct halves, and 85% of residents who identify as Black live on the East Side. Even today, the city remains one of the most racially segregated metropolitan areas in the US. Every artist and art lover in Buffalo is welcome to join us.īuffalo needs The Space Between. Located next door to the wonderful Fitz Books and Waffles (yes, waffles!), The Space Between will be equal parts studio, performance space, reading room and gallery. Digital material in the form of photo, audio, or video files can be brought along, but can also be generated on site, and it is also possible to digitize analog material.In February 2021, the Arts Collaboratory will open The Space Between, a new arts incubator at 431 Ellicott-on the border of East and West Buffalo. In a next step, these spaces will be supplemented, expanded, and (re)organized by visitors on site with further material and perspectives. With nota this multi-perspective process will be visualized: With media data the lumbung members provide, two digital spaces are created in which these data can be experienced and different perspectives on the collected material can be discovered. These are processual actions that develop and change over a longer period of time, some of which started several months ago and are still unfinished. In particular, the event focusses on the artistic contributions to documenta fifteen of the lumbung member Arts Collaboratory and ZK/U – Center for Art and Urbanistics. The experimental setup poses the question of which digital archiving tools ephemeral art requires and whether it is possible to give a digital space to the encounters and the very different perspectives that contemporary art provokes. Artists, exhibition visitors, and scholars are invited to arrange and record their specific experiences and memories of documenta fifteen in the software nota. In a participatory process the assembly software nota, an archiving and mediation tool for ephemeral art, will be tested. From here the walk leads back to ruruHaus, where the team of the Archive of Encounters will be waiting for those interested to reflect together on the question of how experiences of the documenta fifteen visitors can be archived. Together an approach to Citizenship and its contexts, as well as insights are gained on site. Afterwards, the tour leads to the Hiroshima Ufer, where lumbung member ZK/U – Center for Art and Urbanistics (and cooperation partner of the project Archive of Encounters) has set up references to their project Citizenship near the Spitzhacke. ![]() Martin Groh, researcher of the documenta archive, will give insights into the different areas of the documenta archive and the challenges the archive faces in the context of contemporary art. Here, insights are given into the question “what does it mean to archive a world art exhibition?”, which is also about the topic what it means to address the accessibility of different documenta exhibitions.
