ANTIplonk: Score

WELCOME

ANTIplonk is a loose and eclectic network of cultural producers working in the public domain. Rather than aiming to be simply doing anything in the public domain we'd rather be doing something collaboratively and collectively – and in the public domain and with someone ... a group ... whoever ... rather than either for them or to them.

ANTIplonk takes antithetic inspiration from the pejorative slang term for 'modernist' public art, "plop art" – but with an Ozzie vernacular twist – "reality hacking" and conceptual art.

ANTIplonk is informed by the artmaking cum cultural production of the late 20th Century. Minimalism, Fluxus and Dada holds attractions for the network. 'Neofluxusism' in particular, like its foreshadow, is:
• More an attitude and/or an aesthetic than it could ever be a movement;
• A lot to do with the idea of 'intermedia' and the exploration/exploitation of what happens when different media bump up against each other;
• Where all kinds of everyday objects, sounds, images, and words can have a newness of meaning in combination.

The idea of the ordinary being extraordinary, fun even, is an attraction. But more than that, the realisation that working as a collective, and collaboratively, almost anything can be realised and what might have been out of reach somehow becomes a possibility.
