Art Collectives

The New Fordist Organization (2013-2018)

Artist Collective

More information: http://nfo.ricercata.org

In 2012, I founded the New Fordist Organization artist collective.

"The New Fordist Organization is part of the The Institute of Applied Cultural Economics and Sociology and is a collective of composers, visual artists and performance artists, set up to apply the principles of mass-production, industrialization and mechanized creation, pioneered by the American industrialist Henry Ford, to the visual and performing arts. The collective was founded in 2012 and has exhibited in The Hague and Delft in The Netherlands."

Institute of Applied Cultural Economics and Sociology (2013-present)

Independent research organization

http://aces.ricercata.org

In 2012, I founded The Institute of ACES.

"The Institute of Applied Cultural Economics and Sociology is an independent research organization designed to provide a platform for the use of cultural economics and cultural sociology as the basis for strategic interventions into the art markets. The organization acts as an umbrella group for a set of smaller autonomous organizations, the most notable of which is The New Fordist Organization.

The Institute of Applied Cultural Economics and Sociology believes that the world of the arts is not a meritocracy but instead, due to its integration with capitalism, operates on market principles – the same principles that the fields of economic and sociology are adept at describing. The Institute seeks to use these fields, not as analytic tools, but as creative instruments to enable the transformation of the art markets themselves."

Acid Police Noise Ensemble (2010-2012)

Experimental music / performance art collective

www.acidpolice.com

Between 2010 and 2012 I was part of the Acid Police Noise Ensemble collective.

"Acid Police Noise Ensemble is an international collective of composers, visual artists, and performers based in The Hague, Netherlands. Their activities come from a mix of performance art, composition and improvisation, and involve an exploration of "noise" with all of the vague, multi-faceted beauty that it implies.

They have been active since 2010 and perform their multidisciplinary projects throughout Europe. These have included their hour-long, "One-Act Aktionist Chamber Opera" Potlatch, which was first seen at an evening of Neoist art in Worm, Rotterdam; and their three-hour 9/11 concert: Stockhausen Serves Terrorism: 10 Years Of Sodom And Gomorrah, held on 11 September 2011 - a collaboration with the political-art collective Anonynmous Stateless Immigrants. The event coincided with the physical release of their first record Extraordinary Renditions and the publication of the journal Much Too Much Noise.

Their performances have include collaborations with the composer Joseph Kudirka in the Delta Centre for Contemporary Art; the sound art exhibition Eavesdropping, curated by Matteo Marangoni at Villa Kabila; Stations and Tearjerker, two 45 minute sound/performance art events in Rotterdam."
