project: (o-gil-vie): BLURRED BOUNDARIES

We, every one of us, are always in search of the new; fashion, fad, golden boy, get rich quick scheme. Contemporary art isn’t any different; theorists, curators, artists and gallerists have always had a desire (not all of course) to define the new, whether this desire is for the critical development of the field or for marketing ambitions is a matter for another time. (o-gil-vie): BLURRED BOUNDARIES is not in search for a definable new, opposed to prophesying a new ‘modern’   within contemporary creative discourse it intends to discuss the now, continuing and expanding existing topical debate; no answers or predictions just questions and thoughts.


(o-gil-vie): BLURRED BOUNDARIES will explore cross disciplinarity and collaboration within the creative fields; artists, designers, makers, practitioners that go out with (not confined by) the perceived traditional boundaries of their own specialised discipline; in a sense creating a non definable type of making and critical theoretical thought and discourse not constrained by historical archetypes and erstwhile canons. 


“We aim to create not just a physical space, but also a space for reflection and cross-fertilisation between the different worlds and working methods developing at a time when the distinction between artistic endeavour and design is increasingly blurred. The project is rooted in a strong yet open idea of the contemporary, allowing design and art to chime together in new ways.”[1]
