As we face an ever urgent and uncertain future, we temporarily suspend the current administrative, bureaucratic, and relocation tasks at hand to do what we do best: that of making the best artwork that we can; for this is the true binding force and DNA makeup of Open-Contemporary Art Center (OCAC).
As we face an ever urgent and uncertain future, we temporarily suspend the current administrative, bureaucratic, and relocation tasks at hand to do what we do best: that of making the best artwork that we can; for this is the true binding force and DNA makeup of Open-Contemporary Art Center (OCAC). Utilized as an act to reinforce and realign our mission as we move forward, this exhibition entitled 19991221 > 20130421 | PART ONE is also an occasion to celebrate this departure, this one marker, amongst many to come.
For the last project at our JUT Foundation for Arts & Architecture space, we have selected thirty-two current and past members from OCAC’s eleven year history to collaborate in a set of conditional spatial and temporal parameters that revolves around individual and collective working strategies as a way to reassess, reconstruct, and remember what has taken place and give illuminations to what may have been left out of this wondrous journey.
19991221 > 20130421 | PART ONE serves also as a bridge from our current place to an upcoming yet undecided location, for PART TWO will take place in the programming at our next station.
