Over The Opening

In the fall of 2007, the artist collaboration MTAA began to invite artists and art collectives to present one-night exhibitions of time based art in their Brooklyn studio. This ongoing monthly event, Over The Opening (OTO), operates as a blurring of studio space, exhibition venue, social experiment and media laboratory. The artists who have worked with OTO represent a diverse range of practices from mediated performances, theatrical productions, participatory events, and conceptual lectures. We are brought together through a common interest in how live lived experiences influence our understanding of the atomized, digitized worlds in which we often find ourselves.
