Dialogues is a collaboration between fifteen French and fifteen American or New York-based artists, paired up to make work for this two-part, four-space exhibition. Each pair of artists works together to translate each other's work and collaborate to produce a series of projects engaged with issues of communication, miscommunication, translation, and separation. The realization of all the collaborations will open as an exhibition of sorts simultaneously at Columbia University and ENSBA in Angers, with a live video broadcast between the two spaces. After the close of the exhibition, DIALOGUES will migrate to a subsequent video screening and round table discussion with the artists at Artists Space in New York and Bétonsalon in Paris. An edition published as both a document of and supplement to the exhibition, will be available for purchase at all four locations of the project, as well as by request at [email protected].

POTLUCK is a project formed around ideas of convergent creation, consumption, and discussion, and functions as a series of migrating group exhibitions and events. Founded at Art in General in 2007, the project has a two-part goal to both act as a liaison between the academic and the exhibition setting, as well as to foster community by concurrently interlacing local, yet often separated, student arts communities.
