Exhibitions are a tool, not the result. Art should open up for a democratic dialog and rethink the ‘ordinary’ exhibition practises. Martha Rosler: “art make difference to a social movement only when it is made in cognizance of those movements.” . Exhibition making can be a model of resistance, a tool and not the result.
H.arta Group at Gallery Box
31st May -3rd of June
H.arta Group is invited to use the gallery as a mini-residency in which to make work in response to that left by The Temporary Separatists. Free to use the space however they wish they might produce a series of workshops, performances or artworks interacting with the work already in place so that the practices of the two collectives will overlap, interrupt and comment upon one another.
3rd of June
Opening Reception of H.arta’s Work and Artists’ Talk/ 18.00 -21.00
At 18:30 H.arta Group will read a performance in connection to their previous work.
http://www.hartagroup.ro/index.php?/projects/group-portrait/. The performance is followed by a discussion where H.arta considers the common realities of lost gains and the present struggles and potentials. They will analyze collectively histories of our grandmothers, mothers and us and talk about everyday life where this interconnects with history and past political moments, as a way to think about where we find our selves now. The Temporary Separatists and H.arta will explore the collective work and the benefits of such practice.
