Deric Carner: Already There [Towards an economy of the sensible]
a project at TENT. April 14-24, 2005
location: TENT., Witte de Withstraat 50, Rotterdam; Tues-Sun 11.00-18.00hrs


Already There concerns an economy of exchange. Artist Deric Carner (USA) will
be in residence in the upper antechamber of TENT. to enact simple routines with
visitors. The work deals with adding, subtracting, commitments and conditions.
Deric Carner: "I am a media artist. I look at the fragments and refuse of every-
day mediated life and process them into more palpable trash. This is done
to convert boredom and overload into wakeful silence. Value is degraded through
the incessant inflation of stimulation culture. Subtracting from the pile might
be more useful today than adding."
