Inbetween
Duration - 16:04 minutes
We’ve all been feeling a bit guilty for not getting as invested in the project as we’d wish to.
It’s never by lack of interest, we’re pretty stoked every time we manage to get together. It’s
rather that day to day life always catches up. We’re good together. It’s fun and all. What
happens in between those times when we meet ? How do we keep that fire going when we
split ?
The people you’re watching chose five poses out of drawings. Ordinary poses. Inspired by
people on TV, people on the streets. They were then invited to mimic each pose, switching
from one to the next. What happens during those transitions ? How do you get from here to
there ? How do we fill the gaps ? What’s going on in between ?
“Yeah, how do I get from that pose to this pose ? How do I move ? Slow ? A bit faster ? Am I
too self aware ? Do I put up a show or do I keep it solemn, looking self absorbed and all ?
Does that really look as elegant as I picture it in my mind ? Poetic. How do I make it poetic ?
Can it look poetic ? Can something really “look” poetic ? Am I overthinking all this ? How
about I slip a robot dance out of nowhere. Or would that be too cliché ? Yeah… That would
probably be too cliché (it would be funny though).”
Galerie 3000
Galerie 3000 is a honeypot and an inflorescence in one. The people of Galerie 3000 are bumblebees of the art world, the art discourse and bustling viewers. The exhibition space is a manifest point which, on the one hand, shows results and, on the other, is a visible point of connection for the bumblebee colony. Here we find a temporary home and reference in the connection to the outside world. The current understanding of Galerie 3000 emphasises the exchange, the shared experience and the comparison of artistic practice and vision as much as the result and as much as the discourse. Art does not have to be visible, it just has to be. Whether alone in the centre of the lake, or in the livestream, from Art Summit 3000, from the conference room, in the exhibition space or in the blog, the important thing is that the art is there and that the bumblebee people get nectar and can share it. Galerie 3000 is divided into 3000 layers, the first 1000 are the exhibition space, the second 1000 layers are the lived, cultivated and cherished swarming and networking and the top 1000 layers are the summit meetings.
The operational core of Galerie 3000 is a fluid group of people who run the exhibition space and look after the bumblebee colony. The global network is run as a collective from within the group and working groups prepare their soup with ladles of the right size. Joy and fulfilment are the driving force and courage and passion are the currency in this cosmos.
