Analog Analogue
“Rather than the artwork being an encounter between a viewer and an object, relational art produces intersubjective encounters. Through these encounters, meaning is elaborated collectively, rather than in the space of individual consumption.”
~Nicolas
Bourriaud
COLLECTIVE STATEMENT: The work of Analog Analogue focuses on a relational aesthetic philosophy built upon the idea that the art viewer wants to be more involved, to physically interact with artwork in meaningful ways. We realize that in our current cultural climate much of the watching and looking is now done at home, and that contemporary art can now be something a community of interested people can create or experience together. We like to get the gallery visitors involved in the experience in a way that allows some to dive right in, knowing all the while that others may choose to tiptoe. We are never bossy, and we never intend to trick people- we simply create a situation and let the individual choose whether or not to engage with the work. We have discovered that when this comes together in a way that is thoughtfully semi-choreographed, while genuinely leaving some elements to chance, a palpable enthusiasm takes over the crowd. We are addicted to creating that enthusiasm.
