MASS Gallery, Austin's independent, artist-run space, announces a change of scene. Since 2006, MASS Gallery and Refraction Arts resided at the Blue Theatre Complex at 916 E. Springdale Road. At the beginning of the 2010 season MASS entered into a new partnership with the Blue Theatre, and since have decided to part ways in efforts to best represent our respective audiences.As an established force in the art community, MASS aims to continue providing an experimental space for artists to focus on the growth of their art practice. At this time our artist collective is excited to move forward as a nomadic gallery, focusing on the collaborative nature of preserving and showcasing innovative art projects. With many thanks to Big Medium, MASS is proud to present our first nomadic adventure with an installation from the Totally Wreck Production Institute out of Austin, TX. We plan to continue negotiating new collaborations and locations for future undertakings and it remains our goal to foster progressive and distinct projects that provide the Austin community with a important contemporary dialogue. We appreciate all your support throughout the years and look forward to sharing this new phase of MASS Gallery with you.
MASS Presents at Big Medium
IN SCIENCE, THE LION SLEEPS WITH THE LAMB
Totally Wreck Production Institute
MASS Gallery at Big Medium is happy to present...IN SCIENCE, THE LION SLEEPS WITH THE LAMB
In the years 2009-2015, the Totally Wreck Production Institute conducted a series of experiments investigating the qualities and curiosities of technological foreplay. Visions of progress and product were set aside, and instead, the identity of failure was sought out as a milestone containing shrouded and inherent success. Inconclusive dilemmas became holy events with hidden meaning and techno-spiritual meditations. The romance of technology within the members of the institution shed the layers of traditional clinical procedure, and instead, anarchic and unorthodox practices became felicitous excursions. Investors quickly ceased their funding of these experiments, based on an overwhelming fear that the institute's pursuit of scientific conquest appeared to be slipping deeply into the palms of the psychotic/avant-garde.
However, in the eyes and brains of the institute, the reward of failed experimentation unveiled the antithesis of post-evolutionary change, as well as the capacity of love to undue ones' own estate. "This is the foreplay of our own cognitive architecture," declared one of the institute's head scientists.
Alas, The Totally Wreck Production Institute is proud to present evidence of failure in these technological dark ages. The findings in these experiments were varied, but one fact remained consistently clear: IN SCIENCE, THE LION SLEEPS WITH THE LAMB.
June 5 - 26, 2010
Opening with special performance: Saturday, June 5, 8-11 PM
Gallery Hours: M, T, TH, F 10 AM-4 PM, W 7-9 PM, SA 12-5 PM
