Steve Lambert

Inside the Artists Studio with James Chimpton is a radio program/robotic chimp developed at Eyebeam by Jeff Crouse and Steve Lambert (with Alexander Reben) for Neighborhood Public Radio’s “___ American Life” at the 2008 Whitney Biennial.

I’ll be giving a short, and hopefully funny, talk as part of Gelf Magazine’s Non-Motivational Speaker series. From Gelf’s site:

Culture jammers and pranksters will be this month’s topic. Featured speakers are Alan Abel, perhaps the most infamous prankster in American prank history, subject of the recent award-winning documentary, Abel Raises Cain, and “founder” of mock citizens’ groups The Society for the Indecency to Naked Animals and Citizens Against Breastfeeding; Steve Lambert, guerrilla artist, founder of The Anti-Advertising Agency, and Senior Fellow at cutting-edge arts organization Eyebeam NYC; and Ron English, patriarch of the agit-pop art movement, corporate branding subversive, and subject of the documentary “POPaganda: The Art and Crimes of Ron English.”

The event will start at 8 pm at the Happy Ending Lounge, and is free.

In January 2008 the Co-op Bar distributed 2 more mini-grants from the profits generated during the Eyebeam Source Code exhibition. The jury consisted of past Co-op Bar grant winners Amy Balkin and Amanda Eicher along with the Collective Foundation’s Joseph Del Pesco and Scott Oliver.

• Marisa Jahn - nominated by Bottle Owner Stephanie Rothenberg
  
• Lucas Murgida - nominated by Bottle Owner Sara Dierck

The two grants were for $500 each. The current total of grant money generated from the Co-op Bar is over $1700, not including profits paid to bottle owners.

Ronald’s Crisis will show at the Rotterdam VHS Festival on March 14th 2008. It’s an honor to be welcomed back after showing “The Best Use of an Art Magazine” at the festival a couple years ago.

My collaboration with Packard Jennings for the San Francisco Public Arts Commission is featured in issue 469 of the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association’s Urbanist Magazine.

What/Why

There’s a lack of art/artist info on Wikipedia, and we’re often too busy to find the time to contribute. So, we’re setting aside one day where a crew of people collectively drop serious knowledge into wikipedia about art. From your favorite notable artwork, artist or exhibition, to our soon-to-be-famous (or already famous) peers. We’ll also add structural links to alumni schools and categories like collective art groups, non profit orgs, etc.

The day is Saturday January 26th: an afternoon on the internet quietly enriching the public domain. We imagine groups of 2-4 people around tables across the country, bottomless coffee cups fueling the discussions, fact checking, and troubleshooting. Ideally lots of “oh, that person worked with X, I’ll make a page for them, link me up.” There will also be a lot of online chatting across coasts. Video chats if bandwidth permits.

Who

Some main folks are:
Steve Lambert
Marisa Olson
Bennett Williamson
Joe DelPesco aka Mr. Collective Foundation
Michael Mandiberg
Jamie Wilkinson
and EVERYONE IS WELCOME!

When

Roughly 12-8pm EST (9am-5pm PST) Saturday January 26th

Where

Wherever you want to gather. At the library (there’s books you can reference), at mini house parties, a local art center, or at home.
And of course, on the internet.
