LINEA: Katie Holten and Mariateresa Sartori Curated by Kathy Battista April 27 – May 31, 2014 Opening Reception: Sunday, April 27, 6-9 pm Public walk with the artists: Thursday, May 1, 4pm BOSI Contemporary is pleased to announce Linea, an exhibition of new work by Katie Holten and Mariateresa Sartori curated by Kathy Battista. The two artists were chosen for their investigations into drawing as an expanded field. Katie Holten’s Constellations are a series of new white-on-black drawings that resemble aggregations of stars. Mariateresa Sartori’s double channel video The Drawers shows her students drawing, their eyes looking at the camera, darting to the pages below, and back again. Sartori and Holten find beauty in their investigations of systemic composition and line. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue with texts by Kathy Battista, Samuel Bordreuil, and a conversation between Katie Holten and Sarah Sze. Kathy Battista is a writer, curator, and educator.

Welcome to the Community Exchange System brain pickings by Maria Popova Inconspicuous consumption, or what lunching ladies have to do with social web karma. Stuff. We all accumulate it and eventually form all kinds of emotional attachments to it. (Arguably, because the marketing machine of the 20th century has conditioned us to do so.) The age of keeping up with the Jonses is over. Transparent user ratings, transaction histories and privacy controls make the sharing process simple and safe, while automated calendars and reminders ensure the safe return of loaned items. Give NeighborGoods a shot by creating a sharing group for your apartment building, campus, office, or reading group — both your wallet and your social life will thank you. UPDATE: Per the co-founder’s kind comment below, we should clarify that NeighborGoods also allows you to import your Twitter and Facebook friends from the get-go, so you have an instant group to share with. Similarly to Neighborgoods, SnapGoods allows you to rent, borrow and lend within your community.

dropping knowledge :: Table of Free Voices Site de democratie participative CUB de Bordeaux Occupying the Money System: Enric Duran introduces Fair.Coop | P2P Foundation “What was missing for us to start out on this path was a monetary initiative present in these markets which, instead of relying on human competition to retain the greatest value, would be based on human cooperation as equals, creating value for all. With the arrival of Fair.Coop, faircoin has become the cryptocurrency focused on the social cooperation that was missing. Enric Duran initially approached us during the late spring. It is this brash, hands-on attitude that I admire so much about Enric Duran. Monetary and economic theories centered on the fairer distribution and stewardship of the earth’s wealth abound. Back to Duran and Fair.Coop. Whether the project succeeds or not, the experience and insights gained will prove to be invaluable. An open cooperative as a revolutionary tool for building a new global economy By Enric Duran Today I have not expropriated any banks, nor am I presenting anything which anyone can call illegal. This means: Consider traditional capitalism.

Living as Form Living as Form is an unprecedented, international project exploring over twenty years of cultural works that blur the forms of art and everyday life, emphasizing participation, dialogue, and community engagement. Living as Form provides a broad look at a vast array of socially engaged practices that appear with increasing regularity in fields ranging from theater to activism, and urban planning to visual art. The project brings together twenty-five curators, documents over 100 artists' projects in a large-scale survey exhibition inside the historic Essex Street Market building, features nine new commissions in the surrounding neighborhood, and provides a dynamic online archive of over 350 socially engaged projects.

Forward the (R)evolution - in Harmonie mit der Erde A Stockholm, une plateforme en ligne permet aux citoyens de comparer les services publics Depuis le lancement de la plateforme « Jamfor » en décembre 2008, les habitants de Stockholm peuvent comparer les services publics et privés en fonction de critères bien précis. La transparence totale est le maître mot de cette initiative, qui offre une vision particulièrement originale de l’ouverture des données à la suédoise. Les citoyens font leur marché de services En suédois, comparer se dit « jamfor ». Un nom qui s’est rapidement imposé pour une plateforme qui en est déjà à sa troisième mouture. « Notre challenge était d’étendre au maximum la liberté de choix de nos concitoyens. Il fallait pour cela rendre accessibles toutes les alternatives qui s’offrent à eux d’où l’idée de développer ce service en ligne », rappelle Johannes Söderlund, chef du projet à la ville de Stockholm.
