Christian Nerf is taking some of the crit from Art South Africa and artthrob to heart. This time, his 24-hour residency is over a shorter span of time (eight hours per day for three days), and has a lot more people in a smaller space. The big difference, tho, is that short, specific tasks are given to the artists all day long, in order to insure collaboration, and work further towards complete “exhibit-able” art objects (I find this very amusing, in that the 24-hour residency concept’s strength is just that: its concept… it seems, however, that objects are still more than desired. Buh-dum-cha ;).
Anyhow, the new 24-hour residency project started yesterday, and artists can do between one and three days, as they see fit; I’ll be giving it my all from 9 – 5 today, and will let you know how it goes….
