Meta NY Crew

2009-01-19T02:55:00.000-08:00

Where is NY? How do we identify it? The comforting new york of boardwalks and broadway lights has dissolved into a trance-replication of filioendocrinol hypercompatibilities relying on slubness and pre-post-derriere puddling. NYC t-shirts, movie sets, the capital quietus of the logometropolis contends the confluence of conflict as global metaphor into the downsizable mercantile. The technopatent of common creativity predominates the spaceless, where broadway is staged in the cherubic. The colonial entertainment option is an anglo-amplification which makes the scant present and the destitution of the foreign compatible. The globe's english irrodes the pasta-avant new york into the foreign new(tm) - the interplay of the ficto-capital multi-oppositional (the game dialectic of the inalterably identical) forces the meta(/)post contrast into commonality with the popular-radical.

Meta, however, is slightly cooler than non-meta, and the physical location of the transcendental ironic will always be subsidiary to the perfection of the patent-contained and virtual-oblivious. The fatten tictock post-american rating synopsis dream.

There is no meta-NY crew, seriously WTF. They are net.wicked.cool wannabees.

out cool

2009-01-11T09:09:00.000-08:00

basic premise: use some notion of elite, cool art-world scene to out-cool language-conceptualism-flarf. this involves staging an engagement - in the gallery and on the internet. what happens?

what does new york crew look like? how cool are they? how cool are you? is coolness the blindspot of Language?

Artist Statement

"Flarf Fixie" (Theoretical Spaces Gallery, Brooklyn) is the first exhibition of the artist collective New York Crew, kicking off their series of visual works, performances and theory installations intended to critically engage the notion of a "contemporary historical avant garde of writing." "Flarf Fixie" examines recent discourses of "Conceptual Writing" and "Flarf" via the constitutive financial ontologies of fine art objects and art-school, hipster culture. A future show in Echo Park, Los Angeles, will similarly deconstruct self-reflexive blind spots in the power narratives of L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E and their students. Artist Statement
