The Unstitute: Transmissions From the Jungle / Catalina Ouyang / Opportunities

"the unstitute;


It’s a bit like, you know, like when you hold a seashell up to your ear…you know, how it sounds like the shell’s got the whole sea inside it, only it hasn’t? Its just, like, reflections from off the little gullies and channels and…stuff?"

This month at The Unstitute...

[b]THE UNSTITUTE in residence at AUROVILLE RADIO, India:[/b]


[b]The Unstitute[/b] has dug a tunnel from London, UK to Auroville, India - an experimental community dedicated to human consciousness.

Our exploration of the Tropical Dry Evergreen forest, planted by the Aurovilians, leads [b]The Unstitute[/b] hither and thither, like in a stream of consciousness. Expect our broadcasts to be intensely intermittent transmissions of experimental approaches, a Permaculture

Explore our residency at Auroville Radio by listening to the diverse audio projects and hearing the voices of Auroville...

CATALINA OUYANG

After Mental Wealth 2013[/b]
(video)

"After Mental Wealth 2013" takes as its launching point Chris Cunningham's 1999 Playstation commercial, "Mental Wealth." The artist becomes an analogue Fi-Fi, distorted and reconstituted through a decade of internet and social media normalization. The future of Cunningham's technological futurism has become our present, and it is not what we had expected. Nu-goths, Chun Li, space lazers, Pokemon, Grimes and Ben Lerner make their appearance in a melange of Tumblr earnestness and net- and 90s- nostalgia. Cunningham's Fi-Fi told us to land on our own moon. The artist as Fi-Fi tells you to do it in a skylit room, surrounded by your friends.

Catalina Ouyang is the recipient of the 2011 Esther & Arthur Proetz Scholarship, the 2011 Elizabeth Greenshields Grant and the 2014 Caroline Risque Janis Prize in Sculpture. Her work has been exhibited in Los Angeles, Annapolis, Baltimore, Florence and St. Louis, including at the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts and the Contemporary Art Museum. In 2011, her work was included in Manifest Gallery's International Drawing Annual 6. Ouyang received her BFA from Washington University in St. Louis in May 2015.

[b]an Evolving [an]Archive[/b]
_ongoing_growth_

[b]The Unstitute[/b] has worked with global practitioners to assemble experimental connections in anti-establishment thought and practise in the interactive archive: [dis]Corporate Bodies. Individuals and groups have worked across the spectrums of orthodoxy and subversion to create works which respond to the theme 'undermining the institution' - by selecting an institution and actively mining the fabric upon which its 'institutional' structure rests.

Come in and explore the manifold variations that have constellated underneath the floorboards of [b]The Unstitute,[/b] presented through 13 exciting and experimental editions to interface with YOUR consciousness...
