Red 76
Red 76 is a multi-artist collective started in Portland, Oregon. Since 2000 they have produced numerous projects and appeared in The New York Times,[1] Artforum[2] and Modern Painters,[3] and shown at Southern Exposure and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and in projects by Creative Time.[4]
Themes
[edit]Red 76's work centers on the practice of grassroots publishing (both zines small newspapers, and online), conversation, and alternative economies which center on a larger theme of the American Revolution (the 76 in their name references 1776, the year the US independence) and a general revolutionary spirit.
Projects like Ghosttown and Taking Place[5] sought to charge space and create an atmosphere wherein the public may become highly aware of their immediate surroundings, and their day-to-day activities, is an often recurring element within many of the group's activities.
