Promiscuous Infrastructures (Phase II) aims to visualise/materialise Artivistic’s research practice and create an inviting space for others to reflect and participate. The exhibition/installation is based around four separate, but promiscuous spaces; a central print workshop for making zines, a research library, a meeting space, and a dining room. The typo/graphic message in Skol’s entranceway (pictured above) subtly describes the political context of the project.

There is no model, only memory (and those we hold dear)

The library.

The soundtrack: Wu-Tang’s C.R.E.A.M. Accompanied by gold letterpress prints by Kiva.

The walls are adorned with typographic statements and photos by Thien, documenting the too-often unvalorized work of radical organising.

The public is invited to create their own zine from a wide selection of texts and images.

The Awesomest Foundation is offering a randomly drawn $500 prize for project proposals.

The exhibition runs until April 14th at Skol, complemented by a series of informal workshops, discussions and performances—visit artivistic.org for details.
