That would be a cultural masturbation
Some contemporary organizing artists accept what has been the core objective of socially normal enclosures (perhaps the enclosure of the market makes for “handy” privacy.)

“When i look at innovations in art (probably elsewhere too) it is clear they occur in artist organized contexts – back into pre-history. I begin to doubt the innovative power of the individual and the innovative power of the corporation. When i dig a little i find an obscured grouping of agents.” — unknown
Artist Organized Art shouldn’t be for artist only
That would be a cultural masturbation

Artjacking from dealers seems to be a good idea though..
The Internet showed us a way to distribute content in a different way ( Napster)
The recent trend in building spectacular museums and galleries feels like an end to a certain era. It has a nostalgic feel of the end of empire. It reminds me about days when they built churches. They are all empty now. Why would you care for container so much when it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want?

Thanks to all for the growing interest and participation. I would like to clarify that while i have facilitated this common document by initiating its container, it belongs to all the contributors from the standpoint of content. So, it’s not mine alone. It belongs to all of us. The idea for it is not original. The results that flow out from it may, by contrast, be very original in nature. It’s up to you.

Historically, artist organized art has required self awareness since its inception. Globally, its text is written incrementally by the collective actions of its participants. This common document is only a new surface for its pen.

My first entry to Josh’s new and brilliant site:
Just arrived in London from NYC en route to Cambio Constantin 1V in the Monesterio de Veruela near Zaragosa Spain.Nice flight, no sleep, incredible view of sunrise in the east from above the clouds. Soft blues and indescribable golds. Myopia gives way to a kind of vastness when see ing the clouds from their other side.
Cambio Constantin 1V runs from July 25 – August 3.
Updates, details and voices of the artists to follow. You can also check their site @ www. arteenorbita.com.
I’ve come to Europe 2 weeks early to work on a project with London based Ghanain poet Fiifi Ishmael Annobil. Then to Rhondda Cynon Taft for a wedding of a match that sprang from an artists organized event last year.
A creative start to the month, been drawing and began working on the book in the garden of the October Gallery which is now showing a show of paintings by Peruvian artist Elvis Luna. All seems furtile ground for artist organized, or not so organized creative ventures. In search, for some reason, of feathers I received one from Tadashi and Laurel that travels with me from Brooklyn, another appeared this morning during my run in Regents Park. Maybe more along the route. we’ll see what the Welsh winds blow in.
Stay tuned.

An online forum for artists to discuss, review and organize art – amazing that the concept should feel so fresh in the year 2003 – but here it is, a frontier arts community, I imagine it will prove to be another jewel in the crown of our common wealth!
Josh, as I begin planning the upcoming season of my radio program, I look forward to interviewing you re: the genesis and vision of artistorganizedart.org – as we stream live on the internet, those who live out of range of WXBC will still be able to tune in. Broadcast schedule and links will be posted here as the time draws nearer.
It’s always a pleasure to stake a small claim in the territory of information media, so shamefully dominated by corporate interests. I hope I can help facilitate dialogue and provide exposure in any way deemed valuable, and I will follow the development of this community with interest.
