23 - 27 august 2010, Hogeschool voor de Kunsten, Utrecht

Invited as experts in "direct democracy", we have been working with students at the HKU, during the extra-curricular seminar "Buro voor directe democratie". Having introduced them to the gentle art of trolling, they spent a week getting banned from forums and messageboards, and applying the same techniques in offline public spaces.

The People United Will Never Be Defeated - Exhibition

Miércoles, 8 Junio, 2011 - 16:49

From 19 February to 18 April, TENT. presents the group exhibition The People United Will Never Be Defeated. A topical exhibition around the municipal elections of 3 March 2010, in which the relationships between art and politics are critically examined. Artists have long been aware of the social implications of their work. Politicians also frequently talk about the role of art in society. A certain form of social engagement can after all be found in almost every work of art. In The People United Will Never Be Defeated it is, however, not about art demonstrating its engagement. The focus is on artists who emphatically, and explicitly, raise the issue of the political system: the voting, the speechmaking, the campaigns, the meetings, the decisions. By getting close to the politician they enter into dialogue with the established order.

Parallel Ports está mantenida por los artistas Iratxe Jaio y Klaas van Gorkum, con información sobre sus proyectos, y noticias sobre sus actividades recientes y futuras

Iratxe Jaio y Klaas van Gorkum forman pareja artística desde el 2001. Su práctica podría compararse con la arqueología experimental: exploran el significado social de los objetos y documentos existentes, mediante su apropiación y reproducción en un contexto diferente. Con un interés que va más allá del horizonte de su propia disciplina, suelen colaborar con personas de otros campos como la arqueología, la sociología o el activismo. Algunos motivos recurrentes que tratan en su trabajo incluyen cuestiones sobre la autoría, el patrimonio cultural o colonial contestado y los efectos de transformaciones sociales en la noción misma del arte.
