Galería Perdida, Mexico and Schalter present: Criteria
July 2007
For this traveling exhibition, a collection of slides has been assembled from eighty individuals. Presented with a traditional slide projector, together they make up Criteria.
There was no governing prompt presented to the artists other than requesting a single slide. The content therefore was derived without interference and may occupy several functions: the slide as documentation; the slide as artwork; or the slide as a catalyst to new viewing relationships. Artists from all backgrounds and practices are presented next to one another to compile their own unique narrative and subsequent dialogue. With Criteria, the focus will shift from the individual to the collective and back again.
Presented within the context of the ongoing exhibition Guest Curator, Criteria further extends the questioning of invitation, convention and curation.
