Les formes du délai will concentrate on the absence of the finished and exhibited work of art. Given that a work of art always goes beyond the spatial-temporal framework of the exhibition, the complex network of relations in which the work inscribes itself is worth considering. The work of art, in effect, participates in a series of practices and discourses which take place prior to and/or outside of the work of art. Exposing the forms from which a given work may take its cues or other forms in which it may be absorbed can ultimately shed light on how a work of art operates, from its conception to its reception. Including exhibitions, screenings, performances, and online projects that will take place over the course of the year, the general programming of Les formes du délai will unfold like so many objects of speculation and experimentation, to encourage questioning on the working methods of artists as well as critical or institutional discourse and viewer practices. The various moments devised by the artists will put in balance the effect of the expectations created by the announcement of the workbefore it actually takes shape and the delayed reaction to it once it comes into being. [Interview] Project Room. A show without works Preview: 15 December 2005 - 6 pm Exhibition: 16 December 2005 - 22 January 2006 La Box is pleased to present Project Room. A show without works a project curated by Daniele Perra and previously presented at Spazio Lima (Milan) with: Marc Bauer, Whitney Bedford, Yael Davids, Jean-Pascal Flavien, Annalisa Furnari, Ryan Gander, Jérémie Gindre, Loredana Longo, Bas Louter and Christian Rainer. Project Room challenges the usual exhibition routine and decides to not exhibit executed art works but rather offers ten self-interviewing videos by as many international artists, who speak openly about a piece they are working on, or a visionary project they want to realize, or about their creative process. The exhibition Project Room. A show without works was financed by ROBERTO DEL CARLO with a contribution of the Mondriaan Foundation, Amsterdam.
