AND AND AND / Event 4 / Twin Towers Go Global & Pedro Lasch / Three Anniversary Reports / September 11, 2010
AND AND AND is an artist run initiative, which will use the time between now and dOCUMENTA (13) in 2012 to consider with individuals and groups across the world the role art and culture can play today and the constituent publics or communities which could be addressed. The series of interventions, situations, and occurrences entitled AND AND AND are part of dOCUMENTA (13) and will compose a map of emergent positions, concerns, and possible points of solidarity.
For the fourth event, AND AND AND has invited US-based Mexican artist Pedro Lasch. For the AND AND AND series, Lasch will create three special 9/11 anniversary reports (2010, 2011, 2012), all of them related to the recent announcement of his participation in the Twin Towers Go Global (TTGG) initiative. For Pedro Lasch, it is important to call attention to efforts contemporary artists make to forge ties with organizations attempting to make real changes in the world. He states, "I am thrilled to be working with TTGG. Artists today cannot sit on the sidelines as decisions are being made about the fate of the world. If someone has decided that the Twin Towers of New York are to be duplicated in different cities around the world, why shouldn't artists or architects get involved to make sure it gets done right? TTGG's challenge to help develop plans for new WTC buildings in New Orleans and Kabul, for example, is formidable." – Find the full statement by Lasch and the announcement of his selection by TTGG at this link.
