ALL READY MADES: call for contributions
WORM T. Schippers / All Ready Mades: call for contributions
dear collegues!
WORM T. Schippers / ALL READY MADES
(re-using and re-cycling art / slash art)
In September 2008 WORM will pay tribute to the Dutch artist Wim T. Schippers: a slash-artist avant la lettre (from the sixties up until now) who is widely known in Holland for his predominantly absurdist works for TV, radio, theatre and fine arts. His works include a.o. ‘big purple chair in a parc to ruin the environment’, ‘pouring the content of a bottle of soft drink into the sea’ and a ‘floor of peanut butter in a museum’. Schippers also was the creator of a regular radioshow (in which he drove co-actors and listeners alike totally crazy) and a ‘dramady’ on national television.

We honour this artist by a remake of his obscure album ‘Hark!’ from 1980, and a project we call: ‘ALL READY MADES’.
For the latter, we want to invite artists from various backgrounds to contribute (pieces of) unfinished material, ‘killed darlings’, lost tapes, unused data, half-products, etc. It could be either pictures, film, audio, software or text. The materials will be then used to create one (or more) new works.
The idea of the project has grown by realizing that lots of material is lost in all kinds of processes and decision making. It also fits in our policy of recycling and re-using (in order to reduce waste) and the idea that working with already shaped material brings one to new ideas, new horizons and different work routines.
The rules / guidelines:
the artist retains ownership of the contributed material(s)
we can do whatever we want with the materials (no limitations)
Because we don’t know what we can expect, we can not predict the outcome of the project. It could be a concert, a film, an installation or maybe a variety of these things. The project is executed by the WORM team with the help of a few artists we will invite in September.
We hope you want to contribute!
Please contact/send stuff to my collegue Katelyn because i’ll be on holidays for three weeks
