The project is an exhibition and public program that explores artist practices which seek other ways and structures of working together in the art world.Dangerously Seditious assumes the role of artist as trickster as a departure point.Tricksters are a mythological character in many cultures who disrupt playfully the social and natural order, with an aim to re-establish it in a new basis or an other way.A trickster transgresses prescribed boundaries and demands a revision of ethical responsibility.
In thinking about the concern of the complicity of the visual arts with capitalist market economies; there are multiple approaches to what the trick is to effect a productive change in the system.Some artists see their legitimisation and acceptance by global prominent networks; such as museums, biennials or conferences as a site where they can take advantage of these open cracks to infiltrate and circulate what the system does not legitimise.While others are carving out exchanges and practices that attempt to establish parallel structures independent of the globalised art market.
The project will include art works, events and talks that actively aim to produce a displacement sufficient enough to open onto other ways of working.Works that put into question issues around production, labor, authorship, agency and value systems.Ones that disrupt the system’s intactness politically, socially, economically, etc. through documentary, futurisms, fiction, rumour and mythology.
