NEW INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

Last year we invited Matthew Stock to take part in the second annual seminar of the New International School, which took place in the Treignac Projet in France. It therefore seemed appropriate to invite him again, this time to represent NIS in this exhibition.

Matthew Stock works with video shot through cameras concealed in his clothing in art exhibitions. The video is then relayed in real time to a screen in the same exhibition. Genealogically, this work connects to Dan Graham’s early work with screens cameras and art spaces. However the technique he uses places the work in a new context. The transference of data through the camera and onto the screen is a materialisation of time that doubles up space and extends and complicates its perception. He characterises this new space as a tragic space where deferral and postponement condition from the outset its possibility.

New International School (NIS) responds to the over bureaucratization of art education and contends that art education is the very practice of art in emergence, and cannot be formalized or contained by external concerns to those practices.

NIS is first of all a mobile coalition of artists whose interests among other things, is in examining the limits and limitations of art as it is practiced in economically buoyant zones. The marginality of locations is not seen as a subject for artists and other specialists to comment on or react to, but an opportunity to re examine their own practices in an expanded understanding of context and engagement.

The projects are structured around loose, international groupings of individuals who act as peers. This international outlook of the group retains a multi-voiced relationship with all of its locations. The mobility of NIS is dependent on the individuals who take part and influence the schools mutability with their involvement. The groups work in discursive units, building knowledge environments and advancing collective intelligence. Geographic variations within the unified global context and the non-uniformity of economic systems can be closely examined through its distributed collaborations. NIS hosts and supports knowledge building and is a participatory community.

Matthew Stock, The Suit.

My videos are concerned with the folding of time from place within the categories of; the audience, the gallery, the work of art and the author.

I secretly film the same environment everyday for weeks, always walking the same path, and always the same duration. These days, which are different yet essentially all the same, are then folded in to create a narrative structure.

This narrative structure is ultimately undone by this displacement of time from place.
