EFA Project Space announces Short-Term Deviation. Beginning mid-September, this collaboration with the print publication Showpaper, is a month-long exhibition, publication, video and music event. Bringing the spirit of Showpaper — which crossbreeds music, art and D.I.Y. culture — to full incarnation, the gallery space will be transformed into a combination artist-crafted performance space, zine library, and video screening room.
In conjunction with Short-Term Deviation, Showpaper will run a four-part print series featuring new work from Grant Willing, Katja Mater, Arthur Ou, and Borden Capalino. With musical notation in mind as metaphorical framework, the artists were asked to respond to photos of the empty EFA Project Space — allowing these to serve as the initial ‘notation.’ Each issue is printed monochromatically in one of the four standard offset printing colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black), in homage to the composition of the printed object.
