[OAS NODE #1]: When is #TITMOTA? And why?

From the notes of Jez Bold[NOTE]: The Occupational Art School Node #1 will launch its 3-month residency at Bat Haus in Bushwick (Brooklyn, NYC) with multi-faceted dimensional ana-event conducted by the incomparable Jez Bold, titled "Time in the Mind of the Anarchives." Below is the ana-press release #Jez3Prez has composed for #TITMOTA.] 

Axioms:

1. #TITMOTA is a show otherwise known as "Time in the Mind of the Anarchives"  
2. #TITMOTA has at least 2 parts, Part 1: Presentation/Performance and Part 2: Potluck & Potlache
3. You don't need to come to both (or either) to understand the #Anarchives, but you may get a better idea of what we're talking about.
4. You can start here, if you want: http://hemi.nyu.edu/hemi/es/e-misferica-91/jez3prezaatchu

Have you ever seen a work of art change over time?  Or watched a complex idea emerge from many unintentional steps?  For the Anarchives, process is product is process: each recorded moment brings a new iteration in an evolving work of art.  History itself is changing over time and each documented moment is an opportunity for a new interpretation.

Would you like to understand more?

Join Bold Jez, anarchivist, at the opening of the newly founded Occupational Art School for his 1st solo show called "TIME IN THE MIND OF THE ANARCHIVES."  Examine a collection of strange and familiar objects.  Discover what the universe looks like when refracted through the infinite panels of the K(rystalleido)scope.   Join him for a performance-presentation "Recording Future History: Activist archivism in Occupy Wall Street" to learn more about how the Anarchives altered recent history and informed the origins of OWS. 

As stated by #Jez3Prez, anarchist candidate for Prezident, "In order to radically change our history, we must revolutionize our concept of time." The site of historical struggle can begin anywhere, and here it begins by infiltrating the archive.

*Time in the Mind of the Anarchives Pt 2 [#TITMOTA2]: Potluck/Potlache

Revolutionary Games, in collaboration with the Occupational Art School, invites you to the latest in its series of salons: the #TITMOTA2 Potluck & Potlache will be a free space to participate in an art exchange and give away of recipes, books, media, art...whatever items of substance that you want to send out into the world. This event is a community BBQ and potluck, a review & replay of the first #TITMOTA, and a playground for games, music, and memees; bring things to share with everyone. #OASNode0 invites you to a potlache of orphan works that we commit the annals of the Anarchives by documenting their current presence and sending them into the world with new stewards (who collect, care for, & document the item's changes over time). YOU could already be the new host of an item from the Anarchives! We invite you to bring something to send out as well, something of your own to share with the world through the collection of this revolutionary community archive. As with any valuable experience, expect to come away with more than you came...
