The concept of \u2018nonsense\u2019 is something explored provocatively by writers such as Stein, Campos de Carvalho and Artaud, but mainly rejected by artists. One reason for this is probably quite obvious. In the history of visual culture, many of the forms and tools of artmaking have been co-opted in service of mass propaganda.  In this context, the interpretation of non-sense as \u2018expression emptied of sense\u2019 is hardly benign. In the hands of demagogues, where clear sense and meaning are a threat to power, empty but spectacular expression can find insidious use. And yet, in truth, nonsense, as the flipside to 'sense', creates exactly the environment where conventional reasoning and its dominant narratives can be challenged. So we ask, how can the notion of nonsense serve as the driving force of sense? What is revealed to us through expressions that are ostensibly 'emptied of sense\u2019? We have selected artists who work within this uncharted territory, whose works, through both form and siting, upend conventional notions of hierarchy, authority and power. In this way, nonsense is treated not as a failure of expression, but as a provocation for counter-sense. It invites those who engage with it to enter the elusive but productive domain of conflicting logics as complex as the psyche on the path to its own revealing.","space":"Non\/Sense is both site and object responsive. We envisage placing the works in a space with a permanent collection with its own historical lineage, order and systems, its own internal logic and sense; reframing the museum's collections anew through provocations, interventions and disruptions. The size of venue can range from a small house to large mansion - Museo de Arte Decorativo, Bellas Artes, MHN, Larreta or \u2013 given his own espousal of conflicting logics \u2013 any venue associated with Borges.","artists_proposal":"Julia Dogra-Brazell     British  www. juliadograbrazell.com\nSam Jury                      British   www.samjury.com\nHynek Martinec           Czech  www.hynekmartinec.com\nRichard Stone              British  www.richardstoneprojects.com\nEleonore Pironneau    French  www.eleonorepironneau.com\nJean Faucheur             French www.jeanfaucheur.net\nKentaro Chiba              Japanese  www.kentchiba.com\nDavid Kefford               British www.davidkefford.com","members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":"Password: NS2020","video_link":"http:\/\/www.samjury.com\/project\/non-sense\/","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":"Password: NS2020","images_link":"http:\/\/www.samjury.com\/project\/non-sense\/","cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":0,"names":"julia","surname":"dogra-brazell","email":"jaywalk196@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"466023452","address":"Flat1, 10 Richmond Road","city":"Ramsgate","nacionality":"British","country_id":"81","birthdate":"1963-06-18T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1963-06-18T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+41 7775948600","web":"juliadograbrazell.com"}
