The Hand That Feeds You





















You see this show in particular was not a conventional exhibition, where you invite a bunch of artist whom you like and they hang their work up and there is the opening and then. No. The participating artist of any discipline, it can be a writer, composer, photographer, had to redefine his practice, reformulate himself, to position self in society. This was an attempt to develop and correct to a certain extent the conception of the artist and art initiative in the eyes of the beholder, in the eyes of the civil servant, the officer, the council of the prosecution. The title of the show indicates questions like 'who is the hand that feeds you', or 'what do you do to the hand' and was meant to criticize or debate the position of the institute and the functionality of, in this case the new DeltA Centre of Contemporary Art. How would you contribute to the theme of the show?

Tomas Raat was inspired by our conversation about the open structure of an art institute by being open to everyone for a month 24/7.
Veniamin Kazachenko was more critical about the matter and found a certain structure necessary otherwise the institute might be worries in progress due to the possibilities of party animal invaders.
