Annual large-scale independent forum for artists who do not have commercial representation. One hundred prominent and emerging curators, critics, artists and collectors have nominated their favourite unrepresented artist. All the artists show one piece of work representative of their practice in the event. Talks program every day
PILOT is an initiative led by artists, created in 2004, and designed as a live
forum where independent visual arts professionals could meet their
international counterparts in a unique discursive environment. PILOT provides
an ongoing support network and annual large-scale independent forum for
artists who do not have commercial representation.
This year, for PILOT:2, another one hundred prominent and emerging
curators, critics, artists and collectors from across the globe have nominated
their favourite unrepresented artist. The nominated artists are exhibiting
work, contributing to an archive and will be present at the event.
PILOT:2 showcase
All nominated artists in PILOT:2 show one piece of work representative of
their practice. The resulting exhibition is not curated in the traditional
sense, but is rather an equal platform where each piece of work is an
introduction to the entire oeuvre of each artist represented in the archive.
The PILOT archive
PILOT:2 centers around a hard-copy archive, containing comprehensive
documentation and information about each featured artist, as well as including
the entire updated archive from PILOT:1, for visitors to research. DVDs of
work will also be available to watch on the archive monitors. PILOT also aims
to continue supporting its participating artists beyond the dates of the event
by constantly updating the online archive at pilotlondon.org, and by managing
the hard-copy archive held at Old Limehouse Town Hall, London, which is
viewable by appointment.
Talks program *free, no booking required
Saturday 22nd October, 7-9pm
Artist-Run: An Exhausted Mode?
This first session will look at the validity of the term 'artist-run'. Does
this model for self-representation still have currency, and if so, do
initiatives that claim this status operate in a significantly different way to
other arts organisations? Are 'artist-run' initiatives able to effect
institutional critique? Is the term just branding? Are there genuine benefits
to being artist-run?
Speakers: Chris Hammond, Director, MoT; Lise Nellemann, Sparwasser HQ, Berlin;
Dallas Seitz, Artist & Director, 1,000,000mph projects; and, John Timberlake,
Artist.
Sunday 23rd October 7-9pm
Artists' Networks, Communities, and Independence
We call ourselves artists, curators, art critics and theorists. Do we really

Speakers: Anna Harding, Independent Curator; John Reardon, Artist; Liliane
Schneiter, Postgraduate study PROGRAM CCC, Esba, Geneva; and, Roman Vasseur,
Artist.
