Stagelessness - grupa o.k. - supplement 4

Published by Plug In Editions in partnership with Fillip, Stagelessness is a visual essay on the history and evolution of the stage by collaborative duo grupa o.k. 

In a sequence of images with extended captions grupa o.k. investigates the physical spaces that create formal distinctions “between spectacle and spectators, orator and audience, performers and those-performed-for, actors and those-acted-upon.”

Fillip's occasional pamphlet series Supplements includes previous publications by John C. Welchman, Susanne Kriemann and Eva Wilson, & Toril Johannessen. 

Stagelessness is the second in a series of four Supplements produced in collaboration between Filip and Plug In ICA. This series is in response to Plug In ICA's STAGES biennial whose first iteration Stages: Drawing the Curtain, curated by Jenifer Papararo took place throughout the city of Winnipeg August 18 - September 4, 2017. STAGES biennial 2019 will run August 16 - September 8, 2019, more information can be found at https://plugin.org/stages-2019/. 

Authors:

grupa o.k. is the collaborative endeavour of J. Myers and J. Szupinska. Their practice includes editing, curating, writing, and research, with a focus on contemporary art, the history and future of exhibition making, and the complexities of collective organization. Their name is a mischievous borrowing from grupa a.r. (artyści rewolucyjni), the Polish avant-garde group founded in 1929 by Władysław Strzemiński, Katarzyna Kobro, and Henryk Stażewski.

grupa o.k.’s productions include "Goodbye, Auteur" (Art Journal, 2019), “The Prehistory of Exhibition History” (Art Journal, 2017), “Proposal for a Museum” (San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, 2013), and “Robert Morris Is Unavailable” (Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, 2011).
