Curatorial Statement
An Xiao, The Artist is Kinda Present, 2010.
Portal is a cross-platform project inviting artists, writers and audiences interested in time-based art – video, new media, sound and performance – to engage in a series of exhibitions, performances and symposia, surveying the changing nature of art in the digital world.
Portal asks how increased interconnectivity through digital technology is affecting the way artists are thinking about artistic production and how audiences are being developed, gaining access to and experiencing new work.
Portal’s program of events will be hosted live in venues and galleries internationally and augmented online, connecting globally dispersed audiences with critical content and to each other through the Portal website.
