****************************************************************************************************
As things begin to branch out + extend + more gears begin churning,
we would like to offer some transparency and insight
into what this page is currently setting out to do.
Propagate Cooperative is in its current- but not final or permanent - state of existence.
We would like to fulfill a number of goals (some short term, some long term)
all unified in wanting to Uplift one another,
To create a community/system of communities,
——that won’t need to bend to the will of the current art market
(which depends upon singling out individual artists
under the guise of individual success but really leaves each one of us
surrendered, unattached, rootless, and exploited).
There should be no art “market” if it exists in any way
similar to the current state of the contemporary art world.
Rootless plants are dying…
We must find ways to Grow together,
to collectively believe in something Shapeless,
Fluid, Conscious, Critical, Kind, + Self Sustaining.
Our knowledge
(academic, experience-based, intuitional, etc)
collectively forms something Rhizomatic.
We all live to share this knowledge with one another,
to use our collective ability to empathize with one another
&&& use critical thinking as our tool to gather ourselves together!
We are not asking for you to project any beliefs
onto this co-op project in particular
but instead for each one of us to find things we believe in,
———cling tight to each other———
never let any One belief or Understanding become absolute.
We need to heal, uplift, educate, listen, help, be helped, grow, grow, grow, grow, grow.
PropCo may become many things,
this is all dependent on each of our decisions made together,
our collective ideals and goals.
If you are reading this and have a desire to be a part of that rhizome, then you already are….
Humans can die out from a lack of connection to each other/connection to
something, this last year has made it so clearly evident that we need each other to survive.
Of course,
there will always be other spaces and projects that have similar goals.
We are not attempting to exist in competition with anyone
but with hope to continue merging + sharing + reaching out.
We all must become a Network.
We all have enough room for one another….
Simply, the biggest missing inputs are organizational.
Currently, the goals are looking towards facilitating space to exhibit our peer’s art,
help distribute and platform art, platform others for educational purposes,
make collaborational projects + critique spaces fully accessible- essentially make it easier for
us to find one another.
There will be more posts shortly inquiring about participation in group activities,
shows, etc, etc, etc. but our dms are always open if you have some ideas that you want to
propose, share, or if you’d like to get together
and talk about your feelings towards the future of all of our artistic practices!
More soon! We need 2 Love one another <3
