prompt: presents Provenance Research: Publication Launch and Walking Tour | Aug 29, 2024 6-7:30 PM

 

Join us on Thursday, August 29th, at 6:00 PM at Bungee Space for a launch celebrating the release of prompt:'s latest issue Provenance Research.

Provenance Research compiles a crowdsourced series of vernacular photos that suggest comparison to works of art, attesting to how artworks linger in the mind and enmesh themselves in a viewer’s daily reality, both high and low. The publication takes its cue from an Instagram account of the same name collaboratively run by prompt: editors Nicole Kaack and Mira Dayal from 2018 through 2021.

Returning to the project’s origins, a humorous associative game of conflating street-based objects and artworks, Dayal and Kaack led a walking tour of “artworks” found on the block surrounding Bungee Space. The tour departed from Bungee Space promptly at 6:15 PM.

prompt: is a collaborative artist publication directed by Nicole Kaack and Mira Dayal. Each issue brings together artists, writers, or scholars who have not previously worked together and are chosen by Dayal and Kaack because of their mutual interests in a particular form of research or subject matter. Collaborators work together over a period of several months to produce a publication presented as an archive of correspondence or a draft for future work.
