Small But Dangers

The Europe Archipelago: The Island of Madrid

In the language that has a monopoly on life we will look for blind spots. We will not patch the holes. We will take advantage of their potential, which remains potential only if it is unfulfilled. Through an aestheticized collection of objects - a polyphony of various details - we will establish a space for thinking. We will not look for the content behind the words. Instead, we will reveal it in the form of cracks in the language. The content of the word sustainability is of a precarious nature. The metaphysics of the meaning will be reached through poetic thinking, where the coherence between object and thought is constantly challenged. The emancipatory potential of language lies in the difference between language and life, between art and life. In this abyss between the two (But) a small individual can manipulate with systems of norms, meanings and values. We will present art as a dead background on which life can sprout again. Faced with art, a person recognizes her/him self as its opposite - a thinking, emotional living being.
