Not just another white cube, The Kenmore is a small, cold self-run
exhibition object measuring approximately 36"x24"x24". Though it is
mobile, it is of late sometimes located at SKYDIVE Art Space in
Houston, Texas and recently participated in the Venice Beach Biennale
located at the Venice Beach Inn and Suites in Venice, California.
The Kenmore's mission is to keep ideas fresh through providing a
unique exhibition context and the experience of collaboration. For the
Pan Art Fair, The Kenmore will be "running" under the guidance of its
Chief Curator, internationally unknown artist Emily Sloan, and her
former lawyer David McClain, Esq.
Despite being apprised of the likely activities which will occur in
and around The Kenmore during the Pan Art Fair, Robert Boyd, the
founder of the fair, said, "I'm fairly certain I have no idea what
they will do, but fuck-it, no one else wanted the fridge."
Part evolving installation, part institutional critique, part
performance-based trans-media experience, part skim cheese, The
Kenmore will chill out the hyper-consumerism that is endemic at other
art fairs while (hopefully) encouraging patrons to part with cold hard
cash at this fair.
According to The Kenmore's publicist, life coach and professional
witness, Ban (no relation to The Great God Pan), "The Kenmore may be
liberal, but you still have to pay me." At press time, both Sloan and
McClain had made themselves unavailable for comment.
