One Night Stand aims to question the established modes of arts presentation by exploring the given parameters of the exhibition format, and how as a social and cultural index it comes to condition and shape the form of contemporary artistic and creative practices. By focusing on the processes and terms of production within a critical framework, the aim of the two-week programme is to come to a deeper understanding of how and why we create work under the administration of a deeply embedded 'exhibition complex'. Consequently, questions regarding the (social) exchange value of creative practices would be addressed given the analysis of the exhibition as a situation - specifically one where pre-determined expectations and intentions produce a particular type of interaction.
The programme will be based upon a highly discursive framework, which will include a public discussion.
Following a further week of production, participating artists will have the opportunity to critically respond by working with and against the limitations of the opening night and exhibition's terms of engagement.
