Curators Statement:

There’s a file in my computer in a writing software (‘Scrivener’, in which that famous one’s over-referenced refusal bubbles beneath efforts to move forward) that holds a collection of nearly done and starting-to-crystalize projects. But maybe the most valuable bit for me is a section where I put things that are almost nothing: a sentence, a phrase that comes to me or that I encounter. This title was something I stumbled upon in the back of an old October in an ad for a publication… it says the title has something to do with Diderot. This notion,‘here is some work that will serve as an example/explanation of how I work,’ seems prescient here.

Real Time and Space has been around a long time, with artists cycling in and out as temporary residents and long-term studio users. Telling the story of its history would be tough; giving a snapshot of the current state of affairs is no less difficult, especially in the confines of a small studio space with a single work by some of the project’s artists. And the same goes for these artists’ practices – this installation is a peek at some practices, a peek into a community. And like any group show, there’s some formal logic in the arrangement, but any attempt to force a broader theme out of the work would be disingenuous. RTS has meant a lot to us as members of the Bay Area art scene since it first opened. Jackie Im and I have been guest residents, ‘rented’ space for a period using the communal table for a stretch after our residency. We’ve hosted and given talks, barbequed, done studio visits etc., and still we’d be loath to tell you what RTS is, only that we’re glad it continues to thrive and change.
