Upcoming: Debt

Opening: 13 December 2024, 20:00
Debt is a broad concept that can be examined from various perspectives, including its emotional, social, historical, and economic dimensions. Symbolically, it represents any form of imbalance. It can also be understood as the distortion of a promise. Contemporary society is shaped by promises—of security, community and care—often dictated by economic contracts, historical injustices and societal expectations. Debt functions both as an ‘investment in the self’ and as a mechanism closely tied to control and discipline, as well as to responsibility, obligation and guilt. Between the fragility and persistence of the (power) structures that bind us together, the exhibition responds to the topic in its material—largely sculptural—written and spoken forms.

0 Hour Fragments
A new book by Frank Wasser published by MA BIBLIOTHÈQUE.
Coming Soon.
You know, I think that you should let your ideas be second-hand, and if possible tenth-hand, for then they will be far removed from that disturbing element - direct observation. Do not learn anything about this subject of mine - the French Revolution. Learn instead what I think that Enicharmon thought Urizen thought Gutch thought Ho-Yung thought Chi-Bo-Sing thought Lafcadio Hearn thought Carlyle thought Mirabeau said about the French Revolution.
Give me break, it's Monday again. Those are not your own words.
I know. Ok, Great, you have a half hour break in an hour.
