Lines and Curves By Lena Heubusch 

URL vs IRL

As co-founder and editor of artist-led publication None of the Above, I’m inviting a selection of fellow artists engaging with collective dynamics through their practice. The group composed of physically and digitally present collaborators will be exploring the theme of ‘Being together is not enough’ through performative and participatory framework and discussion. We encourage visitors to join and collectively explore the question of whether being together can be enough. We’ll open the dialogue through tools of lines; lines as language, lines as rules, lines as limits, lines as rhythms, lines as networks. The one hour event will be open to the public and encourages visitors to engage in dialogue and contribute to shaping the dynamics of being and creating together in a post-digital world. The outcome of the event will provide Five Years Publications: Public Series No:8 with visual documentation of the collective process as well as selected excerpts of the event’s transcription and developed content. Taking the encounter at Five Years Gallery as a starting point and a platform for nourishment of collective practices, I’m hoping to ignite an interconnected series of events that will integrate artist constellations formed during the event.

None Of The Above is an artist-led publication reflecting on the contemporary condition of photography. Deliberately inhabiting a space between art object, magazine and a constantly refreshing source of ideas. The magazine issues contain original artworks, texts and critical writings alongside contributions from renowned figures of the art world. This selection comes from a collaborative process that facilitates critical discussions and a platform for continued inquiry into themes of photographic practices and philosophy. Moving beyond the conventional engagement with a magazine, we have created a platform that links art exhibitions, public events, screenings and online environments. None Of The Above looks at the breadth of the photographic spectrum continuously propagating and disseminating new perspectives in our digital and post-digital age. By this, we mean the physical manifestation of None Of The Above as a fluid form that is unrestricted to a conventional magazine format.
