CRITICAL BOTOX in times of 2.0 feudalism, foloseste o linie narativa
fictiva cu inspiratie de tip tabloid, pentru a prinde forma intr-o
publicatie online si intr-o serie de expozitii, prima dintre ele avand
loc la PAVILION in Bucuresti.
Proiectul se bazeaza pe un cadru personal, pe relatia prudenta a
curatorului cu artistii care activeaza inspirational in mai multe zone
sociale utilizand diverse forme de productie sau actiuni politice.
Inteleasa ca o practica politica in sine, CRITICAL BOTOX sustine
valoarea politica a contactului uman direct, in aceste vremuri confuze
ale virtualizarii si dezumanizarii in interactiune co-individuala.
Publicatia online utilizeaza estetica revistelor de scandal ca pe un
sofism vizual confuz, concentrandu-se pe realitatea continutului, pe
mesajele politice ale lucrarii sau pe traiectoria artistului. Acestea
servesc, manieristic, ca o legatura conceptuala intre diferite
publicatii online si recursurile facilitate de artisti, aderandu-se
publicului interesat in explorarea fiecareia dintre ele.
Fiecare expozitie, prima fiind cea de la Bucuresti, functioneaza ca un
exemplu complex cu proiectie in publicatia online a expozitiei. Fiecare
act curatorial reflecta eterogenitatea viziunilor si atitudinilor care
rezulta din creatia artistica contemporana pentru a cuprinde spectrul
larg al conditiilor politice intr-o lume globalizata. (Alex Brahim)
Expozitia va fi acompaniata de o publicatie realizata la finalul
actului curatorial, precum si de un o publicatie tip poster/ziar
dedicata primei expozitii care va contine structura generala a
proiectului, ilustratii si texte de autori invitati. Publicatiile vor fi
realizate la inchderea proiectelor pentru a finaliza cercetarea ce se
desfasoara in timpul expozitiiloe. Design-ul grafic pentru acest proiect
va fi realizat de studioul Los Trini din Barcelona.

CRITICAL BOTOX In times of 2.0 feudalism uses a fictional narrative
line, a faux gossip magazine, to take its real form as an online
process-publication and series of exhibitions, the first of which will
take place on October 2012 at Pavilion in Bucharest.
The project is based on the framework of personal, presential
relationships that the curator sustains with the artists, whose work is
in turn linked, from several thematic axes and production formats, to
the political. Understood as a political practice in itself, CRITICAL
BOTOX claims the political value of direct human contact in these trying
times of virtualization and dehumanization in co-individual
interaction.
The online publication uses the
aesthetic of gossip magazines as visually distracting sophism, focusing
on the reality of the content, the political interests of the work and
artist trajectories. It serves, in this way, as a bridge to the
different sites and recourses facilitated by the artists to a public
that would be interested in exploring each of them. The textual contents
emerge from a standard interview answered by all participants.
Each
exhibit functions as a sample set of the microcosms implied within this
publication. They would also act as a reflection of the heterogeneity
in visions and attitudes that stem from contemporary artistic creation
to encompass the wide spectrum of the political conditions in a
globalized world. (Alex Brahim)
This exhibition at Pavilion
shall be accompanied by a printed publication: a fold-out poster with
the general structure of the project, a graphic illustration of the
relationship framework in CRITICAL BOTOX and texts by guest authors. The
graphic design for this project will be handled by Barcelona based
studio Los Trini.
