curators camp will set you free

actions for active resistance

not for passive passengers

The image is not only meant to exhibit passively significant forms, but to trigger a movement, if not of revolt, at least a movement.
When everything seems to be said and repeated at this point in Art History, something emerges : chaos which confronts us with our responsibility to intervene in the movement of the world.

the safety within the quote and the reality that IS outside the quote

"it's really so cool dealing with political issues nowadays in art. As I said before, everything more or less has been exploited; therefore it is reality and hot issues that will inevitably grab our never-ending hunger for fresh themes. Playing with fire has its dangers, though."



"The real tragedy of Manifesta is that in a project supposedly based on dialogue, interconnectedness, and exchange, nobody in the end was willing to listen to anybody else."

saint augustine(one) : excess is the enemy of art

«Η όλη αντίληψη περί τέχνης ότι αποτελεί ακτιβιστικό εργαλείο δεν είναι τίποτε άλλο παρά ένα άλλοθι, ένας άνετος χώρος για να πνίξουν τις ενοχές τους όσοι θα ήθελαν να είναι ακτιβιστές, αλλά φοβούνται να βγουν στον δρόμο».

the problem arises when "those" that are not "afraid" to fight in the streets are not allowed to fight in the "arts"
