human trash dump

on 02/21/2020 the account of a. vendetta on archive.org was locked without warning or notice. this account had been active on archive.org for seven years and consisted of 159 digital audio/video uploads. there is concern that the last upload "too good to be good" triggered the account suspension but it is unknown as of this time. the video contained an adult individual wearing lingerie and bdsm gear in a hotel room. no nudity was present in the video. the upload's tags also included [transgender]. those in control at archive.org have been contacted in an attempt to restore the archive. their response was that the account violated terms of service without any further details. a. vendetta has asked for clarification with no further answers. a. vendetta has asked peers to send the Internet Archive emails of support to no avail.


what are the ethics of physical and digital archives? do they have any? are they maintaining an archive free of prejudice and bias? or would they rather remove ACCESS to records in an act of CENSORSHIP? who gets to decide?

too good to be good

on 03/18/2020, the account of a. vendetta was unlocked and fully restored through persistent pressure from april vendetta and their peers placed on The Internet Archive to immediately restore the account and its contents. the reason given by archive.org for the account suspension was that another user flagged multiple uploads for "hardcore pornography." we have never left the culture wars. archive.org has a flag for "pornography" but there is no way to flag content for things such as racism. we live in a white supremacist patriarchal society if that was not obvious. we must remain vigilant and work together to ensure the existence of free speech and freedom of expression. the dominant historical archive has always been prejudice.

On the Role of the Artist In Albatross

I am site specific. I am site determined.

The artists in this project must contend with the performance aspect of this space. The white rectangle is not the only arbiter of context. Where I go, who sees me, my whiteness, my maleness, my role as a Professor, my role as a performance artist, my role as a laborer at Target, my role as a couch potato, the way I misunderstand who I am, all work to shift and shape context.  In fact, the space within the plastic sleeve on the lanyard does not guarantee the work a status as art. The challenge I set up for artists is to create a piece that transcends the apparatus I have set up for the display of their work. To not rely on the walls of an established or alternative white cube to make their work automatically art.

The measure of success, in this particular regard, is measured in the how much I am asked about the performance of Albatross vs. how much I am asked about the art the gallery is showing.

I understand that an artist may also like to become visible. I will go to as many art events as I can, I will travel to a city they would like to have a show in, I will promote their project outside of my comfort zone.

Some artists will make me visible. I will gain legitimacy through the display of some artists work.

There are also artists who will want to fuck with me. To undermine my dignity or push my buttons. This is very possible because I mostly don't know what people are going to do.

 

Topics for the future:

Curation

Galleries

Modes of distribution

ask me questions i will answer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Intoduction

Introduction to the Albatross Blog:

This space will have several different roles. This will be a space to let people know what is going on with the artists showing in the gallery, progress and documentation for current shows, space for reviewing some shows that the gallery attends, and finally a space for art to sometimes happen.

I think this is going to be a fun experiment and I hope you check back often.
