Colab

Encyclopedia : C : CO : COL : Colab

Colab is the commonly used acronym of the New York City artists' group Collaborative Projects. Colab was formed in 1978 after a series of open meetings. Throughout its roughly ten years of activity, Colab was distinguished from contemporary New York artists' groups by its regular open meetings and open membership. Among the group's numerous accomplishments include the New Cinema screening room for punk and "no wave" films (1979); the Times Square Show, a large open exhibition near the center of New York's entertainment district (1980); support for the ABC No Rio cultural center (1980-82; ABC is ongoing); Potato Wolf artists' television series (1978-1984); and MWF Video Club (est'd 1986). The group is presently moribund.
