Apologies for cross posting: please forward as desired ****************** NEW LIST ************************* [log in to unmask] ********************************************************** The list is for anyone who has or who may have an interest in network; installation; project; communication; temporary; ad-hoc; transient; mobile; time-based; formless; de-centred art. Potential members include artists, art-administrators, writers, theorists, students, teachers. The aim of the list is to encourage contributions from all who have dipped a toe into these waters and found them congenial, but who know not where to turn next. The idea is that alliances will be formed, projects launched, funding gained, technology utilised, ideas launched and wild speculation indulged in. I hope that art projects will be instigated via this list. It is within my desire for the list that it evolves. The list encompasses: *Projects *New work *Events *Collaborations *Funding *Technology *Shows *Jobs *Conferences *Proposals *Organisations *Information *Publications *Education *Wild speculation ARTNET provides a forum for the discussion of ART that is concerned with: network; installation; project; communication; temporary; ad-hoc; transient; mobile; time-based; formless; de- centred. I call this PERIPATETIC art. I define peripatetic art thus: The art or action of creative endeavour with lack of fixed base. There is no fixed centre which claims to have 'the knowledge'. All projects involve some aspect of lack of enclosure; the promotion of action without centre. Peripatetic art tends towards the transient, the time based, the mobile. Peripatetology is as much about receiving the action, the project, as it is about initiating it. I am concerned with improving communication amongst those working in these and related areas. By its nature this kind of work often does not lend itself to easy documentation or definition. The concept mooted here, and encapsulated in the term 'peripatetic', has by its very nature a changeable agenda. I hope that in action we will create new ways of working alongside some very old human desires. ******************************************************************** To subscribe to ARTNET send the following mail message to [log in to unmask] subscribe artnet <firstname> <lastname> ******************************************************************** To contact the list owner for help, advice, information, send mail to: [log in to unmask] ********************************************************************* If you need more information about MAILBASE you can issue the commands: send mailbase overview ( for a general guide to Mailbase ) send mailbase userhelp ( for a User Guide) as a mail message to [log in to unmask] *********************************************************************
