On the Agency of Unrealized Projects
Unlike unrealized architectural projects, which are frequently exhibited and circulated, unrealized artworks tend to remain unnoticed or little-known. But perhaps there is another form of artistic agency in the partial expression, the incomplete idea, the projection of a mere intention? The Agency of Unrealized Projects seeks to document and display these works, in this way charting the terrain of a contingent future.
For the occasion, AUP's online archive has also expanded its collection to include new (unrealized) submissions by Stijn Ank, Bastiaan Arler, Nicolas Barrette, Maximillian George, Jochen Gerz, Cecilia Guida and 42 Contributors, Nicky Hamlyn, Maymay Jumsai, Maria Karachristou, Miklos Legrady, Joel Leibowitz, Allison Malinsky, Claire Manning, Ingrind Mayhofer, Alex McKenzie, John Kenneth Melvin, Jugoslav Mitevski, Viiic Keer Ossttappph, Douglas Park, Jonathan Parsons, Daniel Castellano Reyes, Gabriel Rico, Anja Christine Ross, Lisa Rovner, Frances Scholz, Sean Scully, Esther Shalev-Gerz, Logan Sisley, Scott Sorli, Sarah Steiner, Youssef Tabti, Sebastian Tedesco, and Carolyn Wirth.
"No Such Archive Exists"
Monday, July 28
Unrealized archives may range from collections of "useless" materials, archives that should but do not yet or cannot exist, collections of work that either are or may be hidden away, and archives that for one reason or another have been destroyed. The evening questions what constitutes an archive and in what ways (or in what locations) systems of collected information may or may not be considered "realized."
"APP LAWS"
Monday, August 4
"APP LAWS" presents a series of workshops and performances that look at the laws governing our interpersonal and interspecies relations, and applications that stand to shift them. The evening calls on the audience—a group often only looked to for applause—for their participation in realizing this work.
"Shapes and Skins: Unrealized Avatars and Alter Egos"
Monday, August 11
The artists selected for this evening employ an outside medium to explore the outer facets of society, popular culture, economics, artistic identity, sexual identity, the art world, the virtual world, and real life. Anonymity, avatars, and the mask of the internet are used as a means of exploring an often unrealizable reality otherwise impossible to probe.
"'This Literally Happened': An Experimental Comedy Night"
Monday, August 18
These experimental comedians trade on impossible, unrealizable half-truths in order to weave a story that is often more truthful than reality. Or they don’t.
"Fail, Fail Better!"
Monday, August 25
The evening will be based on the notion of failure—on lame ducks, bungles, flashes in the pan, and lead balloons—and will discuss its nature through ideas, exhibitions, and theories that, structurally, are impossible to realize.
