Event Description

It is with great pleasure that The Museum of Human Achievement announces a partnership with the Applied Self-Instruction Foundation (AS-IF) for our annual East Austin Studio Tour program entitled “Just Some Me Time…"

As a culmination of their research, the Applied Self Instruction Foundation has designed this comprehensive exhibition to allow for maximum self-reflection. In the interest of presenting truly singular and personal encounters, only one viewer will be allowed in the exhibit at a time for no more than 7 minutes. To facilitate this presentation of “me time,” MoHA will be a one-capacity environment for the duration of EAST. We will provide a waiting room with video and new media curated by Ghosting.tv, Juegos Rancheros, and the Austin Museum of Digital Art.

Please see the following message from Rakete BeeBee, the founder of AS-IF:

“The Applied Self-Instruction Foundation was founded in order to facilitate encounters that extend the potential for contemporary (and future) human beings to live less stressfully. AS-IF presents experiences which are compelling antidotes to boredom and sullenness while injecting vitality into contemporary ways of being.

At MoHA, AS-IF will present a series of potential encounters, each of which is meant to be experienced solely by an unaccompanied individual. After many years of extensive research and study, we have concluded that the optimal amount of just-getting-away-from-it-all time is 5 minutes and 10 seconds. Inside the gallery, you will find each of various experiences on display that represent the full spectrum of all possible things a person would want to do in their time away from the chaos and melodrama of daily life.”

Complimentary Beverages Provided by Austin Beer Works and Bone Spirits.
