Reminder: Piratbyrån and Friends @Furtherfield Opens this Saturday 03
May 2014
Curated by Rachel Falconer & Furtherfield
Saturday 03 May 2014, 2pm
Opening times - Friday - Sunday 11-6pm
Piratbyrån and Friends traces the stories of cultural sharing and
affinity-building among the activities and values of the members of
Piratbyrån (The Bureau of Piracy). This Swedish artist/activist group
was established in 2003 to promote the free sharing of information,
culture and intellectual property. The exhibition presents screenings,
installations and artworks by founding and more recent members, keen to
tell the story of the group on their own terms. It features newly
commissioned work by artists Geraldine Juarez and Evan Roth, and a new
networked audio collaboration which mediates their rich archive and
foregrounds the role of piracy as an agent of innovative disruption and
cultural transmission.
Exhibition Tour and Artists Talk (Magnus Eriksson and Geraldine Juárez).
Exhibition tour led by Magnus Eriksson and Geraldine Juárez followed by
a live walk-through of the Piratbyrån archive and talk about some
overlooked gems from their history at Furtherfield Commons. Expect to
learn some Swedish while we are at it!
