WOOLOO IN THE 6TH MOMENTUM BIENNIAL

We just returned from the opening weekend of the Momentum Biennial, held in Moss, Norway. Wooloo was presenting our work "Two Years' Untouched Garden" - a proposal to leave the garden outside one of the main exhibition venues fallow for two years, from this biennial until the opening of the next in 2013.

However, the very thought of this experiment has caused intense debate and protests in local Norwegian media, which has now resulted in a political decision to ban our work.

The grass outside the historical villa at Gallery F15 will continue to be cut each Friday.

365 DAYS OF PRINT

365 Days Of Print is an ongoing Open Call with the goal of remixing the newspaper and engage in dialogue with diverse artistic mediums.

Over the course of 2011, 100+ artists will use the newspaper as fodder to illustrate, sew, draw, paint, sculpt and photograph. Sam Hickson, Holly Pitre, Peter Jacobs and Osvaldo Cibils are among the WOOLOO.ORG artists selected for participation so far.

We look forward to following the development of the project!

WOOLOO IN DAKAR

Wooloo just returned from Dakar, Senegal where we took part of the exhibition "Faites comme chez vous" at the newly opened Raw Material Company.

The exhibition explores issues of hospitality at an individual, institutional and national level, and touches touch upon themes of human migration, colonial heritage and international conflict.

SEAWORTHY

For those of you in New York on Friday, we strongly recommend the opening of SeaWorthy at the EFA Project Space in Manhattan.

SeaWorthy presents work by artists who employ the boat as a platform for collective action, private reflection and liberatory possibility. Among them are WOOLOO.ORG artists Mary Mattingly, Micheal Arcega, Rachel Bacon, Brindalyn Webster and Charles Westfall.

Congratulations! We are looking forward to the show.

FREE ACCOMODATION IN VENICE

As you might know, Wooloo was invited to participate in this year's 54th Venice Biennale by the Lebanese Pavilion. Despite the Pavilion's recent cancelation, we have decided to continue our project New Life Venice.

New Life Venice offers free accommodation to artists in need and our local Venetian hosts are accommodating artists exhibiting for the national pavilions of Albania, Lithuania, Haiti and Romania among others.

To those of you contacting us: No more calls and emails please - we are completely booked! Thank you for your interest and understanding.

THE AESTHETICS OF JOURNALISM

The latest issue of 12-Pages is Movement. The issue takes as its point of departure the act of 'carrying on' that New Order displayed in releasing their debut album Movement on 18 November 1981, 18 months to the day after the suicide of their talisman, Ian Curtis.

WOOLOO.ORG members Jeffrey B. Childs, Beverly Bennett and Charley Peters are among the artists selected from the Open Call.

NEW ISSUE OF 12-PAGES

For those of you in the UK over the summer, Wooloo recommends the upcoming show All that Fits: The Aesthetics of Journalism.

The show is curated by Manifesta 8 co-curator Alfredo Cramerotti and Simon Sheikh and puts forward the idea that art and journalism are not separate forms of communication. Rather, they are two sides of one unique activity: the production and distribution of information.
