The “Soft” season brought together a diverse selection of international artist-curated exhibitions and events to the gallery of Institute of International Visual Arts (iniva). It served as an exploration of networking, exchange, mobility, and interaction, and the season presented these activities as viable strategies for contemporary art production. Crucially, Soft aimed to reveal the elastic and fluid nature of visual art.
The installation for Danger Museums's projects for Soft included an online publishing house, a streaming installation by artist group Motherboard, interviews, a library networking project, museum shop the aRt café by Dream Products Co. and a specially produced DM newsletter.
Within this framework Danger Museum presented four separate projects across four weeks:
Week 1 (4–6 September 2002): Alex Villar – Upward Mobility, a film shot in New York and London, exploring the relationship between architectural space and the body.
Week 2 (11–13 September 2002): Kyong Fa Che – a flea-market-style account of traveling in Singapore. Plus: The Artists’ Village, a Singapore-based art collective, presents recent projects.
Week 3 (18–20 September 2002): Matze Schmidt & Sebastian Stegner – real.-Mapping, an ongoing research project that uses the space to create a global map of social life.
Week 4: 25th September - 27th September 2002 Re-analysing the Danger Museum.
