Abstract
The past twenty years have seen a new generation of artists working together in small groups and large collectives to explore new avenues of art, design, performance, and communication. With in-depth interviews and a rich array of imagery, Come Together explores the processes and motivations behind forty of the most distinctive of these groups. From large, globe-spanning collectives to highly-focused duos, each collective is not just creating distinctive work but also influencing wider aspects of our culture, from music and political protest to fashion and food, ushering in a new way of thinking about what it means to create, conceive, and make art together. Artists featured: AAS, Abäke, Andrea Crews, Assume Vivid Astro Focus, Center for Tactical Magic, Chto Delat, Club Real, DAS INSTITUT, Dearraindrop, DIS, Discoteca Flaming Star, Etcétera..., Eva and Franco Mattes, Fallen Fruit, Friends With You, hobbypopMUSEUM, The Icelandic Love Corporation, Improv Everywhere, Instant Coffee, LuckyPDF, Metahaven, Paper Rad, Project Projects, The Propeller Group, PSJM, Public Movement, R A K E T A, Reactor, Ruangrupa, SIMPARCH, Slanguage, Slavs and Tatars, Société Réaliste, Space Hijackers, SUPERFLEX, Temporary Services, This is a magazine, Tokyo Picnic Club, What, How and for Whom/WHW, The Yes Men.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
