PENETRATION ( CENSURED)

When an artist is burning to express pushed by the emergency or by the true interest of an exhibiton thematic he can ask to another artist " can I use some of your space ?" . it is an artist to artist aggreement . artist own their exhibition spaces . Penetrations have been successfull at the Venice Biennial 2007 ( 4 national pavillon ) at the Istanbul Biennial 2007 , at the Athens Biennial 2007 but in Copenhagen ( Denmark ) despite aggreement with the artists the penetration was erased selectvely 2 times . ( one at Charlottenborg on at Uturn quadriennale )
Penetration is a protected art format like Emergency Room and Biennalist




the forreign artists in Denmark with the aggreement of the artist Jens Haaning did a penetration of the backspace
of Jens art work titled "Danmark" a hudge bill board written Danmark . The exhibition despite the aggreement of the artist got partly painted over with white paint . This is the first time a penetration get erased
The strangest is that the exhibition got erased selectively . What was painted over contained comments about exclusion,
climate change responsability , elections and critic about the exhibition it self http://backstage-danmark.blogspot.com/

AWARENESS MUSCLE

from PS1/MOMA 2007 talk with abc news

awareness muscle on wikipedia



growing of the awareness muscle


AWARENESS MUSCLE [fr. muscle de conscience]

In the same sense memory can be trained, an awareness muscle can be developed by an effort.
To develop the awareness muscle, the artist has to reduce his business.
When an artist is busy, he is not very aware.
A daily training is necessary. But how to train?
Scanning the news in a critical way could be one exercise.
Daily debating politics with others could be another.
Looking at other point of views usually produces significant improvements.
Fighting prejudice is an excellent exercise.
Many other forms of training could also produce beneficial effects for the awareness muscle.
Continuous and daily training is important.
If not, the awareness muscle can develop into atrophy.
But, to develop the awareness muscle do require will.
