If it doesn’t exist on the Internet, it doesn’t exist.”
-Kenneth Goldsmith; poet, founder of UbuWeb
The explosion of social media platforms has elicited a striking reaction among artists. This exhibition seeks to consolidate this discourse within the paradigm of the show title, #notmethough, a top trending topic in June 2010, ranked third below “#nowplaying” and “#JustinBieber.” Participants have been invited to comment on this title in any personal manner, be it the anonymity of the Internet, issues of privacy and exhibitionism, the notion of “the other,” statements of resistance and individualism, etc.
Exhibiting artists include:
• Melinda Ainsworth
• Man Bartlett
• Logan Sebastian Beck
• Bexar
• @CorpzFlowrLois
• Douglas Cason As Zepeda
• Damien Hirst
• Jonatan Lopez
• Ray Ogar
• Brian Piana
• @t_h_e_y ☟
• Brad Troemel
Works will be presented in any format (paper, canvas, performance, projection, etc.), but all employ one of six social media modules:
• Flickr
• Tumblr
• YouTube/Vimeo
• Chatroulette
Exhibition Opening: June 18, 7 — 9:30 p.m., Curation Myth Ministries at Box 13 ArtSpace
