Recap from the tutorials with David

task_| 26.09.13
"I would like you to write your own personal manifesto. What do you think (your) art** can or should achieve? I'm interested in your reasons, opinions and views. You can be radical, address wider issues if you wish, but please remain honest."

I am for an art that is political-erotical-mystical, that does something

other than sit on its ass in a museum….
….I am for art that is flipped on and off with a switch.

-Claes Oldenburg We say that puzzling, obscure and form-obsessed art is decadent and a cruel denial of the Life of People. - Gilbert and George

Asked to write own manifesto ( or what our work manifests) I came up with the following ( very much provoked by the quotes above):

I am for art that can trigger. or can leave a trace of (in the memory) I am for art that can survive/ inhabit a space outside the museum / the white box.
in parallel the theater outside the black box.

I am for art that asks questions …(?) or draw a map of invisible ( the critical ME ) or leave you speechless…(the visual ME).

I am for art that allow you to participate involve you as a viewer / user / abuser. ----- more on that

The art of participation, elaborates collectivist rather than individual consumption.

I am for art that is not for the elite / privileged / the curators / the art critics / art for artists. / art for the sake of art.

following by interesting discussion on what does define/ deferentialize the difference between Fine arts from Media program in PZI ?or what is MEDIA DESIGN? we came with the conclusion that they both refer to the same questions: How do you communicate the work? What is the subject of your work? or what and how you find a subject of the work you are making?

// media field forms a third area - serves as a democratic aria where the form of the final work is shaped and contextualized, unfolding the research topic.
