Hadley+Maxwell: It seemed like a good idea at the time
February 20, 2012 / Hadley+Maxwell present It seemed like a good idea at the time, a performative lecture. A work in progress, it forms part of a larger artistic research project that the artists refer to as Improperties. Evoking an economy of representation, the talk challenges models of the artist as compromised mediator in favor of presenting a lively mode of engagement between sense experience and sensing together: “common sense.”
This talk was originally presented on November 18, 2011, as part of Intangible Economies, a three-day forum presented by Fillip and Artspeak.
Hadley+Maxwell have been working together since 1997. Recent presentations of their work include the solo exhibitions Improperties, Smart Project Space, Amsterdam, and Who can resist a Human? who doesn’t finger lies?, YYZ, Toronto, and the group exhibitions It’s the End of the World as We Know It, La Kunsthalle Mulhouse; they also participated in The End of Money, at the Witte de With Centre for Contemporary Art in Rotterdam.
