This is a site about the politics of visibility.  It is dedicated to those who resist visibility, as well as to those who are refused visibility by mainstream culture. The evolving mission of this site is to provide knowledge, documents, and tools about the  history and current practices of culture's "missing mass." Its goal is to reinforce whatever degree of autonomy marginalized artists, informal artists, and art collectives have wrested from the mainstream institutions of culture. (Please note, the site is divided into a public archive section that is accessible to all, and a seminar section that is open only to students who have logged in.)
