it’s not unusual - watch it HERE

part of Fäque Knews an ongoing COVID-19 related video series curated on site by Lump Projects in Raleigh, NC

Wild Actions is bringing back some methods from their 2016 performance, and always why. While live performance is severely limited we’ve moved on over to video for the moment, after being invited to join this series at Lump.

it’s not unusual speaks a mouthful, but what will we actually hear?

Wild Actions’ continues to ask a never-ending barrage of questions -

How do we find and maintain our internal anchor?

How do we navigate through our value system, morals, and ethical quandaries?

When is it appropriate & necessary to make a statement or demand something from someone else and when will that demand undermine one’s conscious intentions?

Big hugs & thanks to Lump, George Jenne, Mike Dimpfl, Jackson Curtis, Mike Geary, Meg Stein, and a number of buddies on facebook willing to get vulnerable about their own past & present use of coded language.

More info from Lump about FÄQUE KNEWS:

Thanks to COVID- 19, we are forced to reconsider our use of the gallery space, in a moment when its traditional function is a sudden liability to public health. Like most art spaces, Lump has shut its doors and retracted into an entirely digital space. But instead of showing images of work that are originally designed to be experienced with feet on the ground, eyeball to canvas, Lump is investing its energy in showcasing work that is meant to exist solely in a digital space. FÄQUE KNEWS is the first of a series of exclusively digital projects that circumvent the traditional model of exhibition.

Geraldo Rivera recently told us on national T.V. that if we can hold our breath for more than ten seconds, then we clearly don’t have the Corona virus. That type of irresponsible reporting comes as no surprise, considering the recent wave of blame, rumor, paranoia, and misinformation that seems chronic to White House press conferences, and that internet entities embrace fervently. The chaos is downright exhausting, and our fatigue makes it tough to digest news of any caliber. So, Lump has invited specific artists to beam their personal version of a news broadcast, from behind the gallery’s shuttered doors, using a gloriously low budget, Lump TV set. This will exist as a work in progress, so the themes and methods of production will vary week to week. Videos will be posted on the website as they are produced, so check for new work every weekend, and watch the project evolve just as unexpectedly as the 24 hour news cycle.
