THE BUILDING; the institute, the gallery, the space


PAPIER MACHE VIDEO INSTITUTE
133 HAMILTON ST., NEW HAVEN, CT 06511, USA



I'm defining THE BUILDING as an alternative space for lack
of a better definition. The Institute is not commercial
but certainly encourages the sale of art work.

The events(performances, visual arts, community meetings
etc.) that will take place in and around THE BUILDING have
no established location in the greater New Haven area. I
know this through first hand experience at the Institute,
presently at 133 Hamilton St. There are individuals in
the region (and around the country) who work, produce, and
even exhibit outside the traditional commercial gallery
context. These people do not represent a sub-culture;
they have become (and in some instances are the status
quo) a viable and substantial part of the contemporary
cultural scene. There are several institutions of this
sort in Hartford (Montevideo, Artspace, Real Art Ways,
Craftery) and in every major, and not so major, city in the
United States. when I exhibit my work I inevitably must
go outside the New Haven area, unless I show at the Institute.

New Haven can support a space such as I'm proposing. Why
it does not exist at this time is a perplexing question.
The artists are here, and the public (audience) certainly
is, but THE BUILDING is not.
