TAP 1

July 8th - July 10th, 2017

TAP-1 was organized by Marx Ruiz-Wilson with great help from Audrey Anne-Morin, Jonathan Jimenez, David Jaime Ruiz, Victor Garibay, Marcela Borquez, Morgane Clémént-Gagnon and all the artists listed below. The project was held in the basement of an apartment complex which is located in the limits between Milton-Parc and the Plateau area in Montreal, Canada.

The acronym title of the show “TAP” makes reference to a theory in evolutionary biology called The Adjacent Possible. In this theory, the main argument is that by recombining existent data, materials, variables, etc. the limits of a given system expand and this phenomenon repeats again and again giving access to new possibilities.

I would like to acknowledge and thank everyone involved in this project for their trust, hard work and time spent in making it a reality.
