Now That We Are Even

Most likely the very last show here in the DeltA
The Finale

HOOGTIJ #23 November 12th

Evidently the moment of truth has come without turns. It is now. It is our responsibility, our opportune response. Now that we are absolutely even, do we strike?

The DeltA Centre of apparently Temporary Art opens their granted structure, and the conditions have always been unreasonable here. Probably and most definitely the last show in this very fashion. Instead of an attempt to avoid certain recurrences. As might be well known to some, the investigation of forms within the art continues.

A multiplicity of forms will be equally encountered upon arrival to the exhibition including Performance, Music, Photography, Sculpture, Painting, Video and Installation.

The Performance

SPECTACLE PREMIERE W-E-D-N-E-S-D-A-Y

10th and 11th of october visitors of the DeltA Centre of Contemporary Art would form the exclusive audience to the satirical and absurd masterpiece of Polish musician, composer and artist Grzegorz Marciniak. Accommodated by the stage design of Veniamin Kazachenko. It was an absolute honour to have had.

"Let us imagine getting old and instead of dying and being buried, we choose to be send in space forever. One way ticket to space. We could still communicate with our family and friends on Earth, but at the same time we would get further and further away from them. Till our time is over. 10 years? 20? 50? Our last experience would be of an endless universe."

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.
