THURSDAY, MAY 2

4:00–5:00pm (doors at 3:30)
Rules: What's there to break and how do we break it?

Magda Sawon (postmasters 5.0) in conversation with Laura Raicovich (Francis Kite Club) 

Discussing the initiatives of
    Esther,
    O'Flaherty's,
    Dunkunsthalle, 
    The Francis Kite Club, 
    Zero Art Fair, 
    Filthy Dreams, 
    and postmasters 5.0 

It seems a good moment to address several projects that step outside of herd-following conventions of the Art Industrial Complex on steroids. All strive to change the predictable, prescribed, conforming ways of how to deal art, show art, discuss art and build a larger context for it.
