Living as Form
Philadelphia-based collective Megawords will create an “outpost” inside the exhibition space where “doing nothing is acceptable.” This outpost will be designed as a space to encourage various forms of engagement: learning, eating, seeing, conversing, and collaborating. Megawords will use video projections, paint, sound installations, and other interventions to create an immersive environment inspired in part by some of the abandoned warehouses where the artists spent time in their youth. These teenage hangouts—filled with reclaimed furniture, televisions, posters, and graffiti—were self-initiated zones of freedom that evoked the spirit of potential action and possibility. The installation will also serve as the distribution point for a special issue of Megawords magazine created for Living as Form, in which the ideas explored in the installation will be re-contextualized in print. Finally, an old photocopy machine will allow visitors to easily reproduce any of the materials they discover in the space, producing an open-source publishing system.
