coming closer (re-evolution)
RE-EVOLUTION
(…) The vernissage audience stands around as though at the bottom of the sea in the north atlantic in the white cube, where it-girls in light blue high heels and green-scaled latex serve hors d’oeuvres of salmon and seaweed. Everything seems to be of glass, and frequencies reminiscent of breaking ice cut through the room. Then an electric guitar strung with sailor’s yarn is heard and the smoky voice of a siren sings: “Cover the surface … Cover the surface. Revolutions take place on the surface and are part of our enjoyment. Only the surface grants us the illusion of understanding, creates identity as the mortar of society, and evokes the feeling of community. Realities are transformed into images on it, which infect our thoughts and guide our desire. It constructs the public sphere, structures society, programs individuals and creates a hegemony of the masochistic gaze, which disciplines us under the hypnosis of the capital to property, consumption, security and control. We are addicted to the scourge of the reactionaries and strive for homogenizing superficiality. Cover the surface …” In a loose group of posing people, rhinestones glitter over tanned decolletes and a spaced out hippie in a sleeveless net shirt, wearing too tight white linen pants, dark sunglasses and a ganesha tattoo on his left upper arm stretches in rhythm with the waves: “You are fantastic. You are indra’s net. You are a sparkling multitude of diamonds reflecting every facet of the individual and all his connections. You are a networked society, a virtual information space, rendered from the void that illuminates in neoplatonic raytracing.” A young globalization critic in reebok shoes, adidas jacket and with blonde rasta hair rising up like a double helix, curls her silicone-lips into a nike swoosh, from which an angelic voice murmurs: “Since we no longer live in spaces – all the talk about spaces of nature, free spaces or virtual spaces is a nostalgic lie – the surface is not a euphemism, where other layers are hidden below. Surface does not cover depth, but simply communicates links, which then refer to other regions of the surface. Surface resembles a map without land that abets all fictions. There is no transcendence and no escape either. Every flight only extends endlessness with no exit.” The DJ scales down the beats and a spheric carpet of sonic tones mingles among the crowd. Two bodybuilders in dark suits pull a red curtain from a wall-filling picture, in which can be read in fluorescent letters: “Since we are subject to a surface regime and live in superficies of image culture, abhorrence has become commonplace. For this reason, the surface is the scene where art is called upon to negotiate and take action, in order to train resistance. The principle of unconditional resistance is a right that art must simultaneously invent, reflect and rely on, so that a cultural counter-offensive can begin, which opposes sovereignty. This requires that art must enter into opposition against all the powers that limit the project of re-evolution: state power, the economic powers of the corporations and international capital, media, religious and ideological powers.” (…)
