Analog: Kenya (Robinson)
Friday January 25, 2013
Recess Activities
41 Grand St
New York, New York 10013 Get Directions
Recess Activities, Inc. introduces Analog, a new online residency program. Analog will provide a sustained, virtual space that will expand upon Recess's mission to support contemporary artists determining the visibility of their work as well as the parameters of its presentation. This new program will also allow Recess to continue supporting the creative process of contemporary artists while reaching out to online, international audiences. For the inaugural Analog residency, Kenya (Robinson) is currently working on a 2-year project entitled 'Remitting Default: a Psycho-Economic Performance of Getting Skoooooled.' The project will record the artist's two-year experience as a black MFA student at Yale University while struggling to maintain her personal finances and secure fiscal support. Kenya will make her private education public, posting a daily record of the available balance in her personal checking account. This information will be published online and fully accessible to the public, turning personal information into a durational performance of the mundane. Restricted to a numerical format, the data will transform over time and will accumulate for as long as her grad school experience does. This "bank" of information will serve as a database that Kenya will analyze and manipulate for use in expanded creative and academic projects at Yale.
