MAYDAY AUSTRIA

MAYDAY AUSTRIA

MAY 17 - JUNE 6, 2000

Mayday Productions exists by filtering and proliferating activities based in the present moment. Planning usually comprises of the building of a framework or skeletal situation towards the manifestation of a day or a compressed period of time and the projects that unfold simultaneously during that time. The directives of our projects: foreground, access, excess, and transparency develop in and out of spontaneity.

Mayday Productions is a New York based curatorial collaborative. Our concern is to construct a series of focused situations the success of which is based on unpredictability and utopia. Our goal is to create a transient space for simultaneous encounters between artists, audience, curators, and art objects. While making transparent the artists' processes and curatorial approaches we are indeed projecting an agenda: the dialectics of control and sensuality. Mayday Productions' projects are not meant to be an institutional critique but instead presents our own experimental model. The actual events are not end products but rather steps toward utopia.
