VERY TEMPORARY WILL BE FUNCTIONING AS ET AL., ETC. (AS OF SEPTEMBER 2011).
If you have a project you would like to show in Tokyo, please contact us there. Our same goals
for Very Temporary (+/- the take/giveaway) apply and we are still committed to offering our time
here as a resource and supporting the work of young cultural producers who may not have
the opportunity to show in Tokyo. We will help you find a venue for your ideas.
Watch for a Table of Contents NYC show that we are working toward for September along with a
show at the ET AL., ETC. studio of the work of Ai Oe called Hyakku En (100 Yen).
Special thanks to Andres Monzon, Yoko Tashiro and Ryoichi Ohara for their unwavering support
of Very Temporary.
Only sort of RIP ....

Curator's Statement:
"Culture is not created; it is merely transformed consciously or subconsciously through the recapitulation of events from the past. An artist must be aware of their position in relation to this transformation. This requires an active involvement with the past and a canalization of the resulting experience through their production. The artists included in Not in Vain are individuals who are observers of culture, of the sort who create poetic reflections on established histories. The works included exemplify this process. ..."

キュレーション・ステートメント:
“文化は創造するものではないーそれは過去の出来事の繰り返しと再現を通し、意識的に、あるいは無意識的に、ただ変化していくものである。アーティストはこの変化に対する自分達の位置付けを考慮しなくてはいけない。その為には、積極的に過去と関与し、結果得られた経験を制作を通して理路化する必要がある。Not in Vain には、文化の評者であり、ある特定の歴史に対する詩想を制作するアーティストがキュレートされています。選択された作品はこのプロセスの例証です。 [...]” (full statement)
