Office of Experiments

1×1 is a relational art piece and emotional catalyst connecting visitors with tsunami victims. Office of Experiments‘ temporary lab space at Transformer acts as a center of activity: offering prints  to visitors in exchange for a donation to tsunami charities and displaying 1000 vials – symbolic tears collected from Japan. Volunteers will pour drops from vials, numbered and trackable online, as offerings of remembrance onto cherry blossom trees across the city. Further performative interventions at federal and global media sites throughout DC will be announced at www.the1x1project.com

1×1 Hub:  March 22nd – April 5th  Transformer Gallery - 1404 P Street NW

April 5th-27th DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities- 1371 Harvard Street NW

The Office of Experiments (OOE) (Neal White with Tina O’Connell) OOE realize projects in collaborations with artists, thinkers and researchers that examine historical and contemporary forms that engage with political, social and aesthetic implications of   alternative futures, spatial imaginaries and situated experimentation. The research into emergent discourse and boundary practices exists between the disciplines of contemporary art, design and architecture. OOE approach to public art is to; ”Engage with structural aesthetics – that is to make critical interventions and generate experimental situations against the contemporary landscape of art within distributed global systems – in terms of governmental organizations, capital, policy, communication and exchange.”
