Urban Disco Carts--spectacular devices that instantly transform any space into a disco. Two self-contained party carts equipped with music, disco balls, coloured lights, a bubble machine, and an endless projection of ambient artist's videos and slides. The Urban Disco Carts have all the trappings of a real disco, but are simply vending stands used to sell gelatinas on the streets of Mexico City. The stereo equipment is faulty, the lights are so tightly packed into the cart they don't function properly and disco balls titter precariously. The cart represents a confused notion of leisure through consumption. It gives the aura of pleasure, and has all the amenities for an instant party, but it falls short in that it is only the material of the party. It is a pathetic attempt at igniting the space, but at the same time the party is what you make it. We believe quality to be less important than the relations we have with artists and how that might turn into doing something. The U.D.C.s real value is that they become the reason for artists to come together. We will incorporateand are dependent onthe work of other artists hrough slides, videos, music and performances to ignite the work. The event of coming together is reflected in the content, but is really about creating an event or a party that works as a cultural product--one that we hope people feel invested in. This Instant Coffee project transforms ready-made objects and takes them out of their context in order to highlight our brand of conceptual practice--a material practice that melds work, play and the building of relations into lifestyle.

INSTANT COFFEE BIOGRAPHY (Jan 2002) Instant Coffee is a service oriented collective of artists, writers, curators, designers and code writers. Together they have developed a practice that culminates in bringing together large numbers of artists, designers, musicians and other cultural producers under loosely themed events. They offer networking services that promote local, national and international activities and publish a monthly on-line magazine, Instant Coffee Saturday Edition. In conjunction with their events, they also publish bookworks, posters and other multiples. Instant Coffee's most consistent members are Jinhan Ko, Jenifer Papararo, Kate Monro, Stephen Crowhurst, Ceclia Berkovic and Timothy Comeau. Instant Coffee developed, in part, as a response to the division and exaggerated difference between studio and exhibition practice. It wanted to offer its community a public place of practice, where ideas, materials and actions could be explored outside of the isolated studio and away from formal exhibition structures, but still supported by a critical discourse or at least offer the potential for one. From the beginning this need for a public place of practice was extended to a variety of disciplines, such as design, music and writing. In creating a space about work outside conventional modes of production, Instant Coffee privileges the relations built on the stuff of work, while also moving the notion of work toward a discussion of lifestyle. "Instant Coffee seems to be of the right stuff because it is a little tacky, all consuming and cheap. Yet it still holds enough allure, as contemporary products go, and it mimics the real thing."
Urban Disco Cart + Amigos
galería garash presenta el proyecto artístico de instant coffee, organizado
Garash Galería, Alvaro Obregón 49 Col Roma
Fecha: Viernes 8 de Febrero del 2002, 8pm
Urban Disco Cart son artefactos espectaculares que instantáneamente transforman cualquier espacio en una disco. Dos carritos que contienen en si mismos la fiesta ya que están equipados con música, bolas disco, luces de colores, así como una maquina de pompas de jabón y un sin fin de proyecciones ambientales de videos y transparencias de los artistas.
El verdadero valor del U.D.C. es que se convierte en la razón para que los artistas se reunan. Instant Coffee es dependiente del trabajo de otros artistas, por medio de sus diapositivas, videos, música y performances para hacer funcionar el proyecto. Se trata de crear un evento de tipo festivo que funcione como producto cultural en el que la gente se sienta integrada.
Este proyecto de Instant Coffee transforma objetos ready-made sacándolos de contexto en función de resaltar su manera de conceptualizar por medio de la práctica que fusiona el trabajo, el juego y la construcción de las relaciones son convertidas en un estilo de vida.
En este rubro Sonido NACIóN, equipo de trabajo integrante del Colectivo NACIóN y en combinación con Instant Coffe presentarán cuatro proyectos musicales nacionales. En este día se presentarán sesiones de música electrónica de los géneros House, deep y tech House, D&B, Techno. Así como down y low tempo. Todos, en formatos tipo D.J. Set. Los intérpretes en esta ocasión serán Alexis & Uriel E, Duo- Panda Mix y DJ Nasty.
