2005
-2010 An ongoing series of events and interventions based around an
imaginary transnational corporation, BLACCXN. The website shows BLACCXN's commitment to the arts, indicating that we well understand the role of Culture in society. BLACCXN has a range of initiatives including, artists in corporate residence, our BLACCXN art £ollection, and the annual BLACCXN Prize4Culture. In the real world, one can buy shares and attend AGMs or come to one of our various public consultation exercises to name but a few of the performances. |

Detail

2005 site-specific intervention into Jim Thomson House After 6 weeks on exhibition, this intervention was censored and not allowed to be seen or refered to again in any future press or documentation. It was like it never existed. |
24 x oil paintings on the back of silk "canvases". The paintings were of everyday objects (ladders, plastic buckets, mops) taken from photos that the local community took themselves. They served as interventions into the "authentic" museum context. |

| Since 2009 | In tandem with artwork that critiques
and parodies, I have recently begun
a long-term,
life-long project that also generates and enacts. Called 'the field', it is both a field of knowledge and a physical field situated in a field and woodland near Stansted Airport. link opens in new window For work done for the AHRC Creative Fellowship, Museum of Archaeology & Anthropology, University of Cambridge 2009 - 2014, go back to alanajelinek.com - or the Museum's website: link opens in new window |
