SWEAT and Museum collaborate on proposal
R: SWEAT and the Museum of Contemporary Art of Denver are collaborating on a proposal to create a game by February of 2005. It is still too premature to share any further details, but the invitation to collaborate with the museum is itself very exciting.
Writing the proposal has forced me to discipline my thinking about our collaborative, and the resulting text will replace the current "about" text on this website.
The museum was approached by a large corporation wishing to cross-promote. The corporation has a history of partnering with innovative creative institutions. The museum was asked to develop a proposal. The director of programming at the museum thought enough of our work to want to include us in the proposal.
This development is exciting and unsettling. We plan to remain critical in our stance, even as we are asked to celebrate consumer culture. This two-edged critique is exciting stuff, but not alway easy to achieve.
