WHO WE ARE Hideous Beast is a collaborative effort between two artists, Josh Ippel and Charlie Roderick. Through organizing structured participatory events we attempt to encourage cultural activity outside the boundaries of mainstream entertainment and fabricated desire. Critical of the audience as a passive participant, Hideous Beast seeks to coordinate events in which an acknowledged exchange between the event (as entertainment) and the spectator (as collaborator) can generate meanings beyond traditional formalized modes of entertainment.
From December 2003 to February 2004, Kanarinka created and performed artworks in public alley 818 in Boston, MA. She selected artworks to do from a pool of instruction works contributed by users from around the world.
Over 80 instruction works were submitted by participants around the world and are on view in the Gallery of Instructions. Kanarinka realized 12 of these projects, documented their performance/installation and presents the documentation online in the Gallery of Enactments
From kanarinka: "I am interested in how one proceeds from language to action and how even the most tiny instructions, actions and enactments can bring about radically new things in the world."
