Opening September 7th at Public Works Administration (PWA) in Times Square, Incidental Container is an exhibition exploring artworks as physical and digital storage.
The works to be exhibited at PWA were originally installed in a CubeSmart self-storage unit for the duration of a “First Month Free'' promotional contract. There was no public access to the original exhibition. Participating artists were asked to transfer works into the storage-unit from their own physical or digital storage.
The works to be exhibited at PWA are scanned and filmed documentation of the original installation, which is streaming on gallery monitors from a “Free 30-Day” Dropbox account.
In addition to the documentation exhibited at PWA, an interactive browser-based video will be on display archiving the original installation. Also to be presented in the gallery are photographs and video of the container's interior seen with a volume of hanging translucent fabric. A quarter through the free month contract, the installation was scanned and captured with 360º video. It was then developed into a browser-based interactive tour. The HTML code responsible for the virtual tour's structure and content was then sublimated into translucent fabric. After the artists' works were de-installed the coded fabrics were installed in the container. The fabrics remained hanging in the unit until it was vacated prior to payment.
Now available in a limited release the fabrics have been sewn into purchasable tote-bags.
