The Object Lag, a concept by the DAI alumnus Emilly Williams, is an open self-evolving structure conceived to counter the ever-present tendency to focus primarily on the material presence of the (art) object. 

The Object Lag instead seeks to place the emphasis on the often invisible and intangible interrelated contexts that orbit around the object. Seeing the object and its experience, as something that is constantly in movement and so open to an infinite amount of possibilities and readings, The Object Lag transforms the common curatorial practice of organizing and arranging into the very material itself, open to the interventions of the artist and visitor alike. 

You are warmly invited to the launch party of The Object Lag taking place at Nieuwe Vide in Haarlem. The evening program will include introductions and presentations by participating artists and guests, followed by a night of live music. After a selection Emilly Williams was chosen the new curator for Nieuwe Vide for 2010.
