About the Commissions

Pacific Association of Artist-run Centres (PAARC) is delighted to announce new artworks commissioned as part of the Institutions by Artists Project. These works use the surplus production of organizational processes such as "information" and "procedure" to generate art, simultaneously enacting and commenting upon the institution as a malleable phenomenon.

Call to Order and Study 1: Participants in the Institutions by Artists Convention use this international gathering as an opportunity to generate site-specific works that intervene in the discursive framework of a conference, in the languages and systems of the event, and the underlying structure of artists’ self-organization.
