The In-Between: Artists Build New Frameworks for Institutions
Posted on April 13, 2013
The Studio, the Social, and New Financial Architectures for Creative Communities was moderated by Lisa Dent, Creative Capital’s Director of Grants and Services. In this Creative Capital blog post, Dent writes about artists creating new types of institutions, including Matthew Moore’s Digital Farm Collective; Jennifer Monson’s Laboratory for Art, Nature and Dance; and Nick Szuberla’s Campaign for Prison Phone Violence.
“Over the years Creative Capital has noticed that an increasing number of grantees have decided to start their own organizations. We’re realizing that the financial and advisory services we provide our grantees help them not only complete their artistic projects but also find ways to address other needs in our society. These new institutions have focused on issues of social justice, food, product development and critical thinking skills.”

Questions posed by Edgar Arceneaux
Posted on
Prior to his program at ICI’s Curatorial Hub on April 11, Edgar Arceneaux posed the following questions to his Facebook friends, calling on their “collective hive mind”:
Tuesday, April 9:
Dear FB collective hive mind,
Questions:
Is there a feedback loop between the content of our work and the means of distribution that one uses to market it?
Be it the gallery, store room floor or virtual space of the web. By what metrics would one gauge the health of this feedback loop?
How would you describe it’s characteristics which differ from
1990’s to the 2000’s economic realities?
Together, Let’s figure out the real questions affecting our practices in our 21c. Reality.
Please share your responses below!
Wednesday, April 10:
Dear FB collective hive mind,
Question:
Is entrepreneurship considered a value in art practice today? (By entrepreneurship I mean operating openly as an individual business entity aside from the gallery platform)
Thursday, April 11:
What cant be sold? From the last chain of responses,
Market forces appear to be synonymous to entrepreneurship? Though I wonder if this puts all emphasis upon objects in exchange. But what of the other parts, “ideas”, what forces dictate that part of a works distribution?
