<p>Description: Note: this site was archived by the Internet Archive
wayback machine but to the best of my knowledge was not preserved by the
organizers. Not all pages were saved. “Art Spaces Archives Project <a
href="#as-ap">AS-AP</a> is a non-profit initiative founded in 2003 by a
consortium of alternative arts organizations, including Bomb Magazine,
the College Art Association, Franklin Furnace Archive, New York State
Council on the Arts [NYSCA], New York State Artist Workspace Consortium,
and The Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, with a mandate to
help preserve, present, and protect the archival heritage of living and
defunct for- and not-for-profit art spaces in the United States from the
1950’s to the present.”</p>
<p>With funding provided by NYSCA, The National Endowment for the Arts,
and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, AS-AP was initiated
with a mandate to begin the documentation process by constructing a
national index of the producers and presenters of alternative and
avant-garde art.</p>

Mondays</a></p>
<p>Description: “ELEVATOR MONDAYS, a social exhibition space built
inside a decommissioned 4ft x 6ft freight elevator….the project revolved
around weekly Monday night community BBQs at our studio building. These
pot-luck events were social opportunities for members of the LA art
community to come together and hang out once a week with friends and
food. Following in this tradition, ELEVATOR MONDAYS functions as a
social space for art and dialogue. The intimate scale and discrete
location of the space allows for a more personal, conversational
experience for both the viewers and the artists.”</p>

<p><a href="https://gas.gallery/">Gas</a></p>
<p>Description: “Located in a truck gallery parked around Los Angeles
and online, Gas was a mobile, autonomous, experimental and networked
platform for contemporary art. Each season, Gas would present one
thematic exhibition that includes works in the gallery and online. All
shows included a fundraiser edition and a zine publication.”</p>

<p><a href="https://www.experimentalarchive.space">Experimental Archive
Space</a></p>
<p>Description: “Experimental Archive Space is an experimental archival
documentation project for a DIY arts organization. Space 1026 is a
23-year old DIY artist collective and studio, event, and printmaking
space in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This web-based experimental archive
collects: documentation images from the past two decades of events at
Space 1026; an oral history of the collective; and generative
zine-making software to produce digital and printable zines with
photographs and interviews.”</p>

<h3 id="hbml">HBML</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.rf5.org/hbml/">HBML Documentation</a></p>
<p>Description: “HBML was a storefront arts space in Worcester MA in the
guise of a donation-based thrift store. HBML hosted exhibits by varying
artists and sold used goods…This is a series of web pages to serve as
incomplete documentation. Pictures are not ordered chronologically, in
themes, or in order of importance, but by file name. Things will be out
of order, but related pics have a strong likelihood of being grouped. I
think that’s as good a way to approach the material as any. No one
(except me I guess) experienced the store in a chronological way, it was
always just, you’d come in, and there were layers of things, echos of
the past, and areas of potential for future action. These pics are not
good documentation by art project standards, or by any standards really!
They were just taken by people at the store, or by me for some other
purpose, or by me for no purpose.”</p>

<p><a href="https://theportal.place/">The Portal</a></p>
<p>Description: “In 2017, I founded The Portal as a way to explore what
it means to archive performance, asking how an archive might operate as
a kind of”living” space that develops protocols for process and
regeneration, attuning to the ways of knowing that emerge from embodied
practices.”</p>

Archives</a></p>
<p>Description: “Prelinger Archives was founded in 1983 by Rick
Prelinger in New York City. Over the next twenty years, it grew into a
collection of over 60,000”ephemeral” (advertising, educational,

acquired by the Library of Congress, Motion Picture, Broadcasting and
Recorded Sound Division. Prelinger Archives remains in existence,
holding approximately 11,000 digitized and videotape titles (all
originally derived from film) and a large collection of home movies,
amateur and industrial films acquired since 2002. Its primary collection
emphasis has turned toward home movies and amateur films, with
approximately 18,000 items held as of Spring 2021. Its goal remains to
collect, preserve, and facilitate access to films of historic
significance that haven’t been collected elsewhere.”</p>

<p><a href="https://textfiles.com">Textfiles</a></p>
<p>Description: What this site offers is a glimpse into the history of
writers and artists bound by the 128 characters that the American
Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) allowed them. The
focus is on mid-1980’s textfiles and the world as it was then, but even
these files are sometime retooled 1960s and 1970s works, and offshoots
of this culture exist to this day.</p>

<p><a href="https://museumofzzt.com/">Museum of ZZT</a></p>
<p>Description: ZZT is a text-mode game from 1991 created by Tim Sweeney
of Epic Games. ZZT has its own editor and scripting language which
offers what may still be an unmatched level of accessibility to
beginning game developers…The goal of the Museum of ZZT site is to
collect these worlds, offer discussions into them and the community
built around them, and keep them safely preserved. It is the hope of the
Museum that the generally unknown works of ZZT community can be easily
discovered and that their importance can be recognized.</p>

Glorious Trainwrecks Software Collection</a> Description: “Glorious
Trainwrecks is about bringing back the spirit of postcardware, circa
1993. It’s about throwing a bunch of random crap into your game and
keeping whatever sticks…Together, you and I will bring the true spirit
of indie gaming back. Yes, you! For this site is about nothing, if it is
not about getting off your ass and creating.” When the Internet Archive
announced they supported running Windows 3.1 software in the browser,
the admin of Glorious Trainwrecks announced a project to archive a
selection of games made with Klik’n’play, a beloved old DOS game-making
program. Additional <a

<h3 id="ubuweb">UbuWeb</h3>
<p><a href="https://ubuweb.com/">UbuWeb</a></p>
<p>Description: “Founded in 1996, UbuWeb is a pirate shadow library
consisting of hundreds of thousands of freely downloadable avant-garde
artifacts. By the letter of the law, the site is questionable; we openly
violate copyright norms and almost never ask for permission. Most
everything on the site is pilfered, ripped, and swiped from other
places, then reposted. We’ve never been sued—never even come close.
UbuWeb functions on no money—we don’t take it, we don’t pay it, we don’t
touch it; you’ll never find an advertisement, a logo, or a donation box.
We’ve never applied for a grant or accepted a sponsorship; we remain
happily unaffiliated, keeping us free and clean, allowing us to do what
we want to do, the way we want to do it.”</p>
