Artist-led, independent and ’small-scale‘ institutions come together for two years to contemplate the relevance and possibility of performance/live practices through a range of slow, consistent actions and conversations. They ask: How can we build frameworks in which one recognises and respects the individual rhythms of the other? How can we share models and frameworks? How can sustainability be ideas as well? We feel an urgency to rethink institutional structures, through artist-led collaborations, particularly in these times of unrest and contagion, where resources are scarce. We were struck by the ambition and pressure to create anew, instead of learning from our peers and sourcing from the immense labour & fertile material of each other’s work – to embrace frugality as a method.
Galerie 3000 is a honeypot and an inflorescence in one. The people of Galerie 3000 are bumblebees of the art world, the art discourse and bustling viewers. The exhibition space is a manifest point which, on the one hand, shows results and, on the other, is a visible point of connection for the bumblebee colony. Here we find a temporary home and reference in the connection to the outside world. The current understanding of Galerie 3000 emphasises the exchange, the shared experience and the comparison of artistic practice and vision as much as the result and as much as the discourse. Art does not have to be visible, it just has to be. Whether alone in the centre of the lake, or in the livestream, from Art Summit 3000, from the conference room, in the exhibition space or in the blog, the important thing is that the art is there and that the bumblebee people get nectar and can share it. Galerie 3000 is divided into 3000 layers, the first 1000 are the exhibition space, the second 1000 layers are the lived, cultivated and cherished swarming and networking and the top 1000 layers are the summit meetings.
The operational core of Galerie 3000 is a fluid group of people who run the exhibition space and look after the bumblebee colony. The global network is run as a collective from within the group and working groups prepare their soup with ladles of the right size. Joy and fulfilment are the driving force and courage and passion are the currency in this cosmos.
