A partnership between seven international arts organizations, A River Waits Reply presented moving-image works from around the world in response to the global pandemic. The summer of 2020 invited new modes of exchange at a distance, and a long overdue reckoning with deep social and political inequity. This transnational collaboration proposed new forms of solidarity. All seven institutions simultaneously hosted each video (presented as a weekly series) on their websites. Each work was selected by one of the partner organizatiosn as a response to the video that preceded it, producing a cascading sequence and a winding river of thought, interpreted through the aesthetic and social values of their respective cultural context.

Partners: Argos, Gasworks, KADIST, MOCA Toronto, Museo Tamayo, Para Site, Hong Kong, Pivô,

A revision of The Artist’s Reserved Rights Transfer and Sale Agreement created by conceptual art curator-publisher Seth Siegelaub and lawyer Robert Projansky in New York in 1971. del Pesco in collaboration with art historian Lauren van Haaften-Schick, commissioned lawyer Laurence Eisenstein to reimagine and update the contract’s resale royalty clause to redistribute the royalty to a charitable organization designated by the artist. In this way, the wealth created by the resale of an artwork might serve a general good, as a future investment in organizations that exemplify the values of the artist.

del Pesco invited curators to write or select a single sentence, making each word in the sentence a hyperlink to an image, video, text, or other ‘web object’. As a result, the title of the exhibition becomes a compact architecture, accompanying the reader as they explore far-reaching corners of the internet. The project ran from 2015-2019.
