About Transart Institute
INTERNATIONAL Diaspora, Post-Nationalism and Post-Colonialism; Identity; Exile; Role of Art in Peace and Mediation; Space In Between; Home; Temporary Architecture; Cultural Engagement through Food; Foreignness, Otherness and the Uncanny; and Publicness, Collaboration and the Social are areas Transart Institute is paricularly interested in supporting and instigating research, projects and practices in. We champion independent thinking, expermentation and informed endeavors.

WE BEGAN as an independent, utopian, post-national and transdisciplinary "unschool art school," embodying the idea that participation in a vibrant and current graduate experience requires nomadic possibilities untethered to geography. The focus and strength of Transart has centered on an exceptional international teaching, research and learning program that leads to an MFA or PhD in creative, curatorial and transcultural practices. Adopting a respiratory model of meeting and dispersing, Transart positions itself in the gaps where art practice, knowledge production and research processes operate; in the tensions between, across, through and beyond recognised paradigms. Encouraging active student-driven learning over passive educational models, our students and faculty—from all over the planet—meet bi-annually as we continue to work wherever we live, actively supported by the Transart community.

WE BELIEVE that education is not just a paper-chase and is most relevant, effective and powerful when vitally connected to projects and initiatives in the world—beyond the walls of the academy. By its very nature, Transart creates international research communities that encourage and promote dialogue and collaboration between artists, writers, curators and thinkers across cultures. Driven by our students desires rather than the demands of bureaucracy and real estate we remain agile, responsive and nomadic; currently meeting in Berlin and New York with plans afoot to include Mexico City and Melbourne.

AFTER TEN YEARS of remarkable development we are now entering the next phase in our evolution. The "transartist" vision is continually amplified by a growing global network of artists, curators and creative thinkers working collectively in hybrid ways that span engaged sites and interactive online spaces from Brazil to Australia, Ethiopia to Canada, Pakistan to Iceland. These reverberating actions further stimulate emergent streams of public programming and events such as the Transart Triennale, ELSE Journal and NEST (New Experiments for Sharing Terrain) and drive our educational curiosity even further. This exciting moment finds Transart again at the cutting edge of what schools, arts institutions, communities and broader cultural experiences might be in the twenty-first century. Transart Institute was founded by two artists and remains operated entirely by artists.

Chicago: MiYeon Kwon & Prak-sis Project Space To Host Joshua Selman and Artist Organized Art

Artist Organized Art: What We Do

On December 26th at 12:30PM MiYeon Kwon and Chicago's Prak-sis / Gaci Project at 16 W. Ontario is pleased to host Joshua Selman and associates of Artist Organized Art to talk about Artist Organized Art’s mission and some of its ongoing and past projects. From its roots in New York City’s alternative art culture, such as Fluxus/Intermedia, Something Else Press, New Observations Magazine, The International Artists Museum and the Lance Fung & Emily Harvey Galleries, to its ongoing support of artist organized media, events and cultural education, the 501(c)3 engages with artist organizers in and out of spaces around the world. Over four years ago Artist Organized Art identified MiYeon Kwon, who Founded Prak-sis, as an especially promising artist organizer developing in the Chicago area. For the first time an artist meeting between both organizations will take place in celebration of the new Prak-sis / Gaci Project space at 16 W. Ontario, Chicago, Illinois.

Joshua Selman of Artist Organized Art
Joshua Selman of Artist Organized Art performing "Full Message"
Western Mass, 2013

Joshua Selman is an artist, composer and graduate of Yale University with a Master of Music Composition whose intermedia practice combines public space intervention, large-scale installation, cultural-strategy and critical journalism. His sound work is included on Westdeutscher Rundfunk, Cologne, Germany. He’s also known for performance works and objects with unique virality. Some were included in a Whitney Museum Ray Johnson retrospective. Other collaborations are with Fluxus founders Alison Knowles and late intermedia theorist Dick Higgins. He first exhibited as an intermedia artist at the SOHO NY Fluxus venue, Emily Harvey Gallery. His participation in several artist organized biennials known as Construction in Process led to a post as Executive Director of The International Artists Museum, New York Center. He’s also documented as a commercial innovator in social networks, by Wired Online in 2004, and referenced in a Facebook patent. In 2003, he launched the online space Artist Organized Art. In 2007, as President, he established Artist Organized Art, a new media based arts organization, as a tax-exempt 501(c)3. In late 2008 he guided Artist Organized Art to acquire New Observations LTD, publisher of New Observations Magazine, with a mandate to relaunch the seminal arts publication. He has gained long term support for the organization from Google Inc. His networked activities now include thousands of artists in the Americas, Europe, Asia and beyond. Residencies include South Korea, Germany, Australia, Canada, the USA and soon China. His works in Performa, on the High Line, other appearances and interviews are documented in print, on the web and on television.

Artist Organized Art, Inc. was formed in 2007 exclusively for literary, educational and charitable purposes. Specifically, Artist Organized Art, Inc. operates under the premise that when artists themselves organize the community of art practice, new and relevant advances in art history occur. Originally founded as a web project in 2003 by Joshua Selman (formerly an Executive Director of The International Artists Museum, New York Center, Inc.) and rooted in the legacy of self organizing communities of artists such as the Fluxus, The International Artists Museum and others, Artist Organized Art, Inc. exists to help thousands of artists voice their contributions to the fields of art history and art criticism while supporting them as artist-organizers working independently of museums and galleries.

Whereas currently the art world is dominated by an art market which requires a great deal of sophistication on the part of the wider community, through the open access attributes of Artist Organized Art, Inc. many artists can engage their wider communities of artists and the general public on a literary, educational and cultural level directly, without intermediaries. The result is the growing acceptance of artist organized art as a vital category of art practice and cultural exchange.

Today, Artist Organized Art non-profit works with artists & institutions to support artist organized media, events & cultural education by strategic, collaborative & financial means. As a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization it provides strategic support to artists and organizations working in & benefiting communities everywhere in the world. Its current following has an all time high of over 150,000 subscribers. Email announcements reach 75,000+ global arts professionals & their followers: 44% North America, 33% Europe, 23% Asia and beyond. Artist Organized Art is advised by, followed by & supported by many independent artists, organizers, curators, historians and institutions, including founding members of Fluxus, members of the International Artists Museum and the publishers of New Observations Magazine.

Prak-sis Contemporary Art Association (Praksis CAA) and Geon-Art Case International (GACI) Project offer a cozy fine art gallery just north of Chicago downtown. The space welcomes Chicago's local community and visitors by providing memorable art experiences and showing stunning art.

GACI Project works with many different artists from nascent to experienced emphasizing the development of their brands as well as enhancing their art careers under director, Mi-yeon (Gwon) Kwon. At G-Art Case, particular attention is paid to solo projects and to representing artists' works on a smaller scale in a gallery for art lovers and collectors.

GACI Project is created by Prak-sis Contemporary Art Association which is a non-profit organization emphasizing art career development and art education. Prak-sis Contemporary Art Association was founded in January 2009 as a not for profit art organization. Prak-sis is a dynamic art experience, migrating to diverse locations across the cityscape. For projects since the Fall of 2010, Prak-sis has worked with small businesses and neighborhood support organizations for mutual benefit. With technology flooding our modern lives, we seek to promote art in new media as well as traditional art forms. Prak-sis continues to further develop and focus on online projects as we organize physical art exhibitions, bridging the gap between new technologies and traditional artistic practices.

ALISON KNOWLES "Red Beans All Day"

"Celebration Red" by Alison Knowles celebrates "Red Beans All Day" (left) and "Homage to Each Red Thing" (right) at The Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine
THE VALUE OF FOOD hosts "Red Beans All Day" as part of Celebration Red by Alison Knowles
For Immediate Release | contact: www.artistorganizedart.org
New York, NY – On Thursday, November 19th from 6-9PM, THE VALUE OF FOOD, curated by Robin Kahn and Kirby Gookin at The Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine, is pleased to host "Red Beans All Day" as part of the Celebration Red series by Fluxus/Intermedia artist Alison Knowles.
The public is invited to come have a bowl of red beans prepared as art in The Cathedral at 1047 Amsterdam Avenue at 112th Street in Manhattan. Serving food in the context of art is a specialty of Alison Knowles, who has performed other food events like "Make a Salad" at venues such as The Tate Modern, The High Line and The Walker Art Center. "Make a Salad" debuted at the ICA in London in the early 1960's and has taken everyday life into art and art into everyday life ever since. "The Identical Lunch", another Alison Knowles food event, derives from a recipe for a tuna fish sandwich and has iconified early participants in the work by way of screen printed portraits also titled "The Identical Lunch". Today the prints and the performance itself are part of the Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection.
Last month in Paris, Alison Knowles was a guest at "Take Me (I'm yours)" curated by Christian Boltanski, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Chiara Parisi at the Monnaie de Paris which featured her "Homage to Each Red Thing", an installation of red objects brought by the people of the city. Like "Red Beans All Day", "Homage to Each Red Thing" is part of her ongoing series Celebration Red. About this she says "Curators Robin Kahn and Kirby Gookin have given me generous inclusion in their marathon exhibition about the value of food. I'll perform "Red Beans All Day" from my own caldron and recipe. Also, we'll have a grid where guests can place a single red object to display. Some of these objects will appear in my new prints."
Alison Knowles, 1933, New York City. BFA from Middlebury College, Vermont; MFA Pratt Institute, Honorary Doctorate, MICA & Pratt Institute. Guggenheim Fellowship 1967; Documenta Professor in Kassel, Germany and NYSCA Grant recipient in the 1990's. Professor at California Institute of the Arts, 1970-72. Appearances and exhibitions throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. Collaboration with John Cage, Marcel Duchamp, Dick Higgins, George Maciunas, and a Founding Member of Fluxus. Participant Fluxus Wiesbaden, Wiesbaden, Germany, 1962 and 2012. Fluxus performance activity provided access to major artists in the sixties and seventies, in many countries, whose ideas and connections were sources for further thinking in works including action, installation and book arts up to the present.In May 2011, Knowles was invited to appear at The White House in An Evening of Poetry. She is represented by James Fuentes at 55 Delancey Street.
The Value of Food (www.valueoffood.org): Sustaining a Green Planet is an art exhibition hosted by The Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine, in keeping with its long history of engagement with issues of social justice, the environment, support for the arts, and community involvement. Guest curated by Kirby Gookin and Robin Kahn, the exhibition focuses on food security, accessibility, and sustainability by bringing together artists who not only grapple with these issues, but also actively engage the audience. Installed in the bays and chapels inside the Cathedral, as well as throughout the gardens, the exhibition is divided into seven thematic sections: Water, Soil, Seed, Farm, Market, Meal, and Waste, a reflection of the cycle of food production. Additionally, the Cathedral will host a number of presentations and workshops by speakers who make community outreach and participation a central part of their practice. These programs will include, but are not limited to, panels on urban farming, labor rights, the history of the dishes that many of us know and love, and the relationships between food and faith. The Value of Food runs from October 6, 2015 to April 3, 2016. The exhibition is on view during the Cathedral's regular hours, 7:30 am to 6 pm, seven days a week. (Please note that there is limited access to parts of the Cathedral on Sundays, full access on Sundays is typically between 1 and 3 pm.)
