THE SCRUM.SITE

VIEW HERE. 

Made in collaboration with Johanna Flato featuring Mati Jhurry and Jorge Simelio-Jurado

The Speculative Consortium for Refreshingly Updated Methodologies (The SCRUM) was a proposed project incubator, physical co-working space and idea disseminator pitched to Ravenrow gallery.

Exploiting a network of art and research practices, SCRUM will produce contemporary art which uses critique to come to grips with the current global situation and speculatively re-route prevailing cultural vectors. Practically, SCRUM co-opts the organizational structures of think-tanks and start-ups, fosters a hyper-aggregative and permutable modus drawn from quantum thinking, and appropriates agile workflow methodologies from software development teams.

IN_VISIBLE HAVENS

more info here.

In_Visible Havens is an ongoing research project which seeks to grasp, and ultimately reroute and repurpose, the highly opaque world of 'offshore' finance.  The 3STATE Collective (Janis Lejins, Jorge Simelio-Jurado, Mati Jhurry et al)  exists in order to conduct ongoing in-depth investigations into the mechanics of offshore tax havens and the international movement of capital especially in relation culture. The intention of this artistic research is not to decry multilateral buisness practices or lament the disenfranchisement of the masses - instead the project seeks to grasp the complex material, philosophical and economic forces at play and repurpose them to speculatively  propose and ultimately establish new models of financial, cultural and social relation to generate a reinvigorated, and more equitable, social good.

In_Visible Havens has been generously supported by The Villiers David Trust and The Royal College of Art.

January 26th, 2017 (On going)

Online clothing store and integrated supply chain.

Sick Of Winning is an ironic socioeconomic rerouting of class relations and societal conflict. The project cynically deploys a materialist interpretation of historical development in a futile attempt to induce a dialectical sort of social transformation. It also does super fast next day shipping.

Each drawing takes the full working day to produce, consumes one pen, and is composed by one contiguous line. By the time the machine finishes the drawing the day has endedand the artist goes home. Everyday a new drawing must be commenced. Every work is a unique edition of one. Over 200 Drawings have been produced and archived thus far.
