Colab is the commonly used abbreviation of the New York City artists' group Collaborative Projects , which was formed after a series of open meetings between artists of various disciplines. Colab came together as a collective in 1977, and initially received an NEA Workshop Grant through Center for New Art Activities, Inc., a small not-for-profit formed in 1974. The grant was divided equally among the artist members in groups of three. / In 1978, Collaborative Projects was incorporated as a not-for-profit and later received its tax-exempt status from the IRS, so that it could apply for grants from the NEA and other sources independently. . Colab was active for about 10 years and became distinguished by the raw energy of its members and sometimes politically engaged open membership. By raising its own sources of funding, Colab was in control of its own exhibitions and cable tv shows, and bypassed the bigger, more established alternative spaces

From January 1979, different artist members put on several notable one-off group shows in their own studios or other temporary sites, such as The Manifesto Show (5 Bleecker St., 1979), The Real Estate Show (Delancey St., Jan. 1980), and especially The Times Square Show (201 W 41st, Summer 1980), a large open exhibition near the center of New York's entertainment (and pornography) district put on with Bronx-based Fashion Moda. Seed money from the first Colab workshop grant led to the creation of New Cinema, a screening room on St Mark's Place for narrative Super 8 films transferred to video and projected on an Advent screen; the publication of X Motion Picture Magazine(1979); support and inspiration for the ABC No Rio cultural center (1980-82 (ongoing); Potato Wolf artists' TV series on Manhattan Cable (1978–1984), support of the Tellus Audio Cassette Magazine (1984), and MWF Video Club (established in 1986). Members of the original group are presently highly active making art, and the membership has shifted and evolved. ABC No Rio was recently awarded a $1.6 million capital construction grant from the City of New York. '' After Colab's approximately ten year reign, the mantle for the brand was soon after picked up by influential arts and entertainment entrepreneur, Michael "Mic" Neumann (1989–Present), and then merged with his holding company, Popdetail Incorporated (1997), which can now be found supporting and exhibiting artists in both non-traditional and public curatorial spaces in New York City and around the world via Colab.tv..

Quotes Describing Colab

"We are functioning as a group of artists with complementary resources and skills providing a solid ground for collaborative work directed to the needs of the community-at-large. Specifically we are involved in programs facilitating development, production, and distribution of collaborative works. These works are realized in various media including film and video for distribution and cable-cast, and live cable TV broadcasts, as well as other more conventional art media such as graphics and printed materials."

"This statement (the one above) defines three fundamental aspects of Colab - members' desire to create and distribute "collaborative work" under the umbrella of an artist-run organization, their focus on new media versus traditional art objects and their openness to a range of aesthetic styles that would meet the "needs of the community-at-large." This last point was critical to the group's identity and served as a the foundation of a workshop-oriented administration that encouraged experimentation in many different areas, including but not limited to TV production, video editing, film, and performance art. With various workshops operating simultaneously and the participants' ability to draw on like-minded members as partners, Colab could produce many projects without the burden of an institutional identity. Typically, individual members worked together on more than one project in small subgroups that changed and over lapped from one project to the next."

"In the bohemia of downtown Manhattan, the band - and crew - based practices of art rock and super-8 film making thrived. The first artists' group to achieve prominence in New York was Colab (Collaborative Projects), which produced a show in Times Square in 1980. This exhibition was a groundswell of popularly accessible socially themed artworks held in an empty building that has housed an erotic massage parlor. Critics called it "punk art" -- "three cord art anyone can play." The South Bronx art space Fashion Moda. participated in the Times Square Show , bringing in some of the new generation of graffiti artists who had been exhibiting in the Bronx as part of the hip-hop culture of writers, rappers, and break dancers. A forty-member democratically run membership group; Colab inspired other artists to form groups and mount huge shows in Brooklyn lofts, seeding the present-day artists' communities there. Earlier in 1980, artists emulating 1970's Puerto Rican activists had seized a building on New York's Lower East Side and opened it as a collectively run cultural center. ABC No Rio was passed on to successive managements until today it is an anarchist cultural center run by a collective with close ties to the publishing group Autonomedia."
