Gallery Talk
October 20, 2011, noon
Through public performance, exhibition, publication, the internet, and video, the art
collective Brainstormers (founded in 2005) investigates topics ranging from power structures
in the art world to gender inequity in contemporary museum and gallery exhibitions.
To find out more information about the Brainstormers please visit:
http://www.brainstormersreport.net.
For the exhibition, Real Time, the Brainstormers have created a site-specific installation that
focuses on issues connected to the realities of being a visual artist in the contemporary art
world. In the public imagination, many believe the "artist" to be a self-destructive genius who
spends each day in the studio caught up in the frenzy of inspiration, challenged by the
extremes of addiction and poverty or the pressures of fame. "He" is an outsider, free from the
responsibilities of employment, relationships, and the common aspects of daily living. In an
effort to dismantle this myth and to convey a more accurate portrait of the "artist",
Brainstormers invited hundreds of contemporary artists across the country to share the
intimate details of their daily lives. These artists anonymously contributed daily records and
studio photographs in response to the following:
Brainstormers is interested in an anonymous hand-written record of how you spent your day
yesterday. We are interested in everything from the most mundane details to larger issues.
Please use whatever format makes most sense to you--the format might include lists,
narrative, drawings, a calendar, or your daily planner entries. We understand that yesterday
may not have been a typical day for you. That's fine.
In addition, for the duration of the exhibition, each of the Brainstormers will provide live
video feed of their studio spaces and updates through Twitter that will offer additional
examples of how artists spend their time.
