If I told you you were beautiful, would you date me on the regular? was a one-night-only group show featuring artists who use media and its by-products to make objects. The title is a quote from Justin Timberlake’s My Love, a song that asks how little Timberlake would have to do for you to devote yourself to him utterly. Artists included in the show inverted this relationship: demanding culture yield its materials to them for reinvention or repurposing.
If I told you you were beautiful, would you date me on the regular? was the last event at Oliver Kamm’s old location: a final dance party designed to privilege interaction and social engagement. In the spirit of a dramatic rejection of systemized forms of cultural production, and as a reaction to the speed with which media is consumed today, the show was conceived, planned, and executed in only three weeks.

Smith, Nolan Simon, Scott Hug, Tatiana Kronberg, and Timothy Hull.
