Nonterritorial is a complex of exhibition zones where ideas take-off and land. It serves other territories. The relationship between two (or more) territories depends on the nature of a third intermediate space that shares in a common relationship; the intermediate space bears equal importance in relation to other territories. Such spaces have been called ‘rendezvous’, or ‘public spaces’, which are the origins of the place of relationship. This connecting territory is the definition of Nonterritorial, it creates new contexts for exhibitions. It could be described as a ‘device of relation’ or an ‘interface’. Each element tends towards ‘territory-free’ and ‘non-territory’ zones. It’s a ‘space of connection’ between the artist and the spectator.
Using the metaphor of international airspace as a platform, the artist-run project is designed to facilitate the collaboration of artists with each other and with curators, collectors and spectators, to bring an Idea — a work of art, object, installation, performance or other form of creative expression — to an unconventional exhibition space, or multiple spaces at the same time. It’s a gateway that connects artists from a variety of geographies to international space, a bridge linking the different art scenes themselves. It can be understood as an experimental laboratory for artists who forge new principles of art installation and art-viewing, whose works resist convention and are rich with poignancy, intelligence and risk.
Artists may benefit from multiple showings of their work and are offered the opportunity to experiment in a variety of unconventional spaces and contexts.
