Sanity Disobidience for a New Frontier.

Camel Art Space Proposal:

SANITY DISOBEDIENCE FOR A NEW FRONTIER Curator: Rod Malin

Dear Camel Art Space, I am excited to submit a proposal for an exhibition that is slightly different from your traditional programs.

I am looking forward to the opportunity to work with an alternative art space like C.A.S. The program vision for the exhibition is rich in media and education. For the duration of the show, the exhibition will be recreated in the virtual sphere, creating the opportunity for a broader audience for both the show and C.A.S. At the same time, I will develop an educational web-based program that runs parallel in concept with the show. Also, to examine the themes of the exhibition in greater depth, I would like to feature either discussion panels and/or lectures.

Based on an understanding of C.A.S. as a non-traditional art space and the budget constraints at hand, creating a media-based show presents its own set of unique curatorial challenges. Since I am concerned about having sufficient lead preparation time, I am requesting board approval to lock in a future opening date for the second week in October.

Thanks in advance for your consideration of this proposal to make “Sanity disobedience for the new frontier� a reality.

Sincerely, Rod Malin

curator

Biography Rod Malin has been a media specialist for the last five years for Marian Goodman Gallery, Bronx Museum of the Arts and various Contemporary artists. Simultaneously, Malin has been working on a self accredited PhD on liminal cultural studies while maintaining his own projects at M A L I N S T U D I O a space that explores ephemeral and contextual ideas. Malin has work with several curators including Lance Fung (Fung Galley NYC), Erin Riley Lopez (Bronx Museum of Art), Catherine de Zegher (The Drawing Center). His wide variety of expertise in theater design, film and fine arts has landed him to work both in the arena of independent and commercial cliental, not to mention his own public work as an conceptual artist that utilizes new media and technology. Malin has ability to be versatile both as a media specialist, artist, and curator could be seen in his recent exploration in “Curating the Virtual�, drawing over 7000 visitors from all over the world to his Invisible Museum of Post Contemporary Art.

rational

Curatorial (working) statement: Is there a fundamental relationship between artists’ practices of exploration and society’s definition of sanity? What does it mean to be sane? How does a common, culturally reinforced definition of “sanity” influence how we perceive art? When viewed beyond the context of the traditional institutional infrastructure, does the concept of sanity take on new layers of meaning?

An investigation and juxtaposition of various theoretical art-making practices and processes that tap into the artist’s psyche will reveal how we might relate these concepts to the digital age. The exhibition will feature artists exploring definitions which relate either to full immersion into new media and/or those that explore caution or resistance.

Being “Sane” is defined as ones ability to be rational. Thus the ability to understand is determined to be a key signifier of being sane. We live in a society where the ability to multitask is a daily exercise, where the “urgency” factor as a business model heavily reflects the institutional business infrastructure and is reflective of our cultural institutions. However, there is little to no research done to prove that multitasking is even an effective approach. Some of the only focused research, conducted by Professor Clifford Nass of Stanford University, suggests that people that multitask are significantly slower in individual task completion, their memory is disorganized, and they are worse at analytical reasoning.

So why does society tend to recognize the ability to multitask as quality of a highly effective person?

Living in the digital age presents constant inhibitions to critical examination of the built environment. The wealth of instant information that is at our fingertips can be accessed with the greatest of ease, whenever and wherever we are. Our minds are always active, yet we have little time to fully process and rationalize all that has been presented. This suggests that maybe we are implementing an immediate response society, where rationality takes a second seat. Consequently, a society that views itself as being contemporary might actually be becoming a non-rationalized culture. The technology-enabled ability to provide a state of “as it happens”, where there is a constant flow of information and with emphasis on the “Now,” produces media parasites that prey on the contemporary.

Bas Jan Ader “I’m too sad to tell you” Bas Jan Ader, 1942 - 1975 Dutch/Californian artist Bas Jan Ader was last seen in 1975 when he took off in what would have been the smallest sailboat ever to cross the Atlantic. He left behind a small oeuvre, often using gravity as a medium, which more than 30 years after his disappearance at sea is more influential than ever before.

Bas Jan Ader was born to idealistic ministers in the Dutch Reformed Church on April 19, 1942. His father was executed by the Nazis for harboring Jewish refugees when Ader was only two years old. A rebellious student, he failed art school at the Rietveld Academy, where friend Ger van Elk recalls that he would use a single piece of paper for the entire semester, erasing his drawings as soon as they were finished. At the age of 19 he hitchhiked to Morocco, where he signed on as a deckhand on a yacht heading for America.

The yacht shipwrecked off the coast of California, and Ader stayed in Los Angeles where he enrolled at Otis Art Institute. There he met Mary Sue Andersen, the daughter of the director of the school. They married in Las Vegas, where he used a set of crutches to symbolically prop himself up during the ceremony. Ader then taught art and studied philosophy at Claremont Graduate School. In 1970 he entered the most productive period of his career, beginning with his first fall film, which showed him seated on a chair, tumbling from the roof of his two-story house in the Inland Empire.

In 1975 Ader embarked on what he called “a very long sailing trip.” The voyage was to be the middle part of a triptych called “In Search of the Miraculous,” a daring attempt to cross the Atlantic in a 12½ foot sailboat. He claimed it would take him 60 days to make the trip, or 90 if he chose not to use the sail. Six months after his departure, his boat was found, half-submerged off the coast of Ireland, but Bas Jan had vanished.

Chris Crocker “Leave Britney Alone” Chris Crocker (born December 7, 1987) is an American internet celebrity. Crocker gained international fame in September 2007 from his viral video Leave Britney Alone tearfully defending pop singer Britney Spears's comeback performance at the MTV Video Music Awards; his video had over four million views in two days. The video received international media attention, hundreds of parodies and criticism for Crocker.

He is a self-described "edutainer" who produces and acts in multiple transgressive videos. In almost all of Crocker's work he presents himself as an openly gay and effeminate Southern adolescent in a "small-minded town" in the Bible Belt where his sexual orientation and outspokenness are a "subtext... rarely addressed directly and never completely accepted." The Tennessee-based Crocker, a stage name, keeps his identity and exact location private because according to him, and as seen in the public comments to his work, there are safety concerns and death threats in response to his YouTube and MySpace video blogs and profile. According to his MySpace profile, Crocker lives in Los Angeles as of January 2008.

His work consists mainly of short-form self-directed "monologues about life" shot in his grandparents' home.[19] As of May 2009[update], Crocker's videos have received a combined 49.5 million plays on MySpace, and his vlog channel on YouTube is the 18th most viewed of all time in all categories, with over 153 million views.

Crocker's detractors and critics have accused him of narcissism, melodramatics, histrionics, and using Spears' personal shortcomings to bolster his own fame. Others have accused Crocker of acting in the Leave Britney Alone video, although he insisted it was genuine on a September 2007 appearance on Maury Povich's Maury show.
