Artforum review, October 2011
These PDF files are to be printed at any size and include tear-off tabs at the bottom for visitors to remove during their exhibition. Featured texts reflect on the predicament of art and its commodification, theories of everyday resistance, and the contemporary economy. Together, these seemingly disparate topics are united by their online presence and the attempt to physicallize and distribute their ideas via a distinctly analog medium -- the public flyer.
This work is part of a larger project examining the possibility of the digital commons, open source distribution, and the limits of copyright law. Many of these texts are uploaded by individuals and illicitly available online, since their copyright holders prohibit such sharing.
