Hey all,
So should I go ahead and open up a TAC bank account? What does everyone think? And then we can all have access to the Internet Banking side of things and it can be monitored/perused by everyone? If so, Paula and Liz do you think you could send down the checks and I will desposit them?
Congrats on your fantastic new job Andie - that sounds great! I'm really interested at the moment in the intersection of artist/curator. Part of curating Continuous Memory was to give myself the opportunity to experiment with the role of curator, I guess to learn the parameters, neccessary skills, absences and requirements of the role. Working with just one artist obviously made it quite different to constructing a group show, or art historical survey. Essentially Continuous Memory developed out of a conversation and I found that that was a really productive way of working.
I would be really interested to hear what other takes artist/curators have on the experience and where they see one role ending and the other beginning, if that even happens? As far as my involvement in TAC goes, it was almost like a symbiosis of both positions into one. Did others find that? Sometimes I feel like labelling nouns are more trouble than they are worth!

So I just read comments on the other post, so my other comments on the original post is a little redundant.
if peeps in welly open the account then i am happy to administer, though i dont think will actually take that much doing.and everyone will have access to accounts anyway.........
am happy with week long admin decisions time frame. as a non-responder i have given myself a good talking to, and will endeavour to check blog more regularly and keep up to date.
have been thinking about TAC project down is chch, but more about that later i think.
banking/money matters
summary: everyone is in agreement with two people (some combination of Paula, Sian, Tom) opening a Kiwi Bank account under TAC's name, and that Tom will be the treasurer! fantastic!
Tom - I will post down all the money guff I have for TAC, cheques and all, so you can deposit them when account is opened. Can you email me your address please -ta!
artist/curator
I don't feel like TAC activities have been very curatorial for me - can you give an example? maybe its more symbiotic from a curatorial background, or maybe my practice already has crossover. Doing a TAC curatorial project would be a crystalising experience. Re nouns: it's more informing to describe what you do, not what your title is - go the verb
I think of TAC's activities as maybe more of a curatorial intervention (well-take the roomsheets for example) although funny you should mention doing a TAC curatorial project because maybe that's something we could consider? Perhaps we could send out an open invite to artists through our networks and ask them to respond to TAC's objectives somehow?
Maybe this could even be something we propose for HSP? just a thought though, let me know what you think??

sounds interesting andie - ive been obsessing about the role of the curator recently, what it actually means and where it finds its efficacy.
hsp would be very interested in such an initiative im sure. ive being thinking also perhaps TAC maybe be interested in an offsite initiative as well because hsp is all geared towards that at the moment.
the way i was seeing TAC working in a curatorial way was predominantly as a facilitator, organiser and collator which are some of the functions of a curator?
... and some of the functions of an artist. Can you describe action as curating if it happens within an artwork? isn't curation (there's my verb fancy again) the thing that can happen to (affect) artwork but effects shows/exhibitions?
