CONTEXTIN' ART: NEW E-JOURNAL FROM ACM

PRESS RELEASE
IT'S P.E. TIME WITH CONTEXTIN' ART - A NEW FORUM FOR
EXPLORING THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF NEW MEDIA ART
THROUGH ART
Contact: artofficial construction media (ACM)
Contextin' Art is a mini-portal for the exploration of
the context of art. The economic, political and social
forces shaping the histories of art are visualized as
artworks themselves. With "Contextin' Art", visitors
can visually browse the often invisible relationships
between art, electoral politics, and economic
philanthropy.
Contextin' takes cues from previous generations of
artists engaged in "institutional critique" and
"conceptual art," as well as calls from contemporary
artivists to interrogate the desire for
"techno-formalism" within institutions.
Contextin' Art will function as a rhetorical e-journal
of sorts, soliciting and archiving web-based art works
and texts that address its mission. New "issues" will
be published quarterly, hosted from the ACM web site.
The Spring 2003 issue will launch in April, and we are
accepting artworks and text through March.
