Something Else will celebrate and explore the groundbreaking publishing project Something Else Press (SEP) founded by Dick Higgins in 1963 and active until 1974. Xatrec and Centamore will travel to related archives in the United States and Europe where they will unearth previously unexplored materials which will illuminate the rhizomatic network of the SEP artists and projects. The presentation, sharing, and discussion of their research will first be manifested and put to use over the course of a four-day gathering of scholars, curators, artists, and publishers, to take place at The Emily Harvey Foundation in September 2019.
Christian Xatrec and Alice Centamore
“We strive to support institutions that share our artist-centered values. The small grassroots arts organizations as well as the museums that comprise our grantees provide invaluable opportunities for artists to express their unique perspectives on the pressing urgencies of the day. We hope that our grants help to amplify artists’ voices within their communities, in national discussions and debates, and across platforms in the international contemporary art world.”
