Atlantic Antic – IT IN Place http://futureofthebook.org/itinplace Fri, 30 Jan 2015 18:02:02 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.15 Aakash Nihalani: Available Space http://futureofthebook.org/itinplace/2009/02/09/aakash-nihalani-space-available/ Mon, 09 Feb 2009 20:00:36 +0000 http://www.futureofthebook.org/itinplace/?p=2664 I went Aakash Nihalani’s opening on Atlantic Ave. Saturday. He got hired by the real estate company to install some work in an otherwise empty piece of new retail space. This month I am beginning to see the economy and it looks like an ugly paper Space Available sign taped to an empty store window. Of course when you have nothing, you’ve go nothing to loose and so it is important for artists to see this as an opportunity not just a precipitous drop in the art market (which was all but ignoring me anyways). A depressed city/country/world might make an excellently vast museum. The void should be filled with creativity. I like the little baby in the cube as it speaks to my Kubrick Space Odyssey obsession and what is a child, but a sort of empty vessel ready to be filled with life and knowledge and culture, etc.
