Hi all,
Even though some may write about and or say, 'they want artistic/cultural
emancipation with and for others' - this is not always the case. For them, it's
more about these social contexts being items of interest, and as products to
reflect a so-called 'genius', and thus initiating unwarranted, cultural
ownership around a presumed status, above others.
The most dangerous thing for those who wish to hide behind hierarchical walls,
not giving but taking and cherry picking an artistic/culture, and managing it
as if they own it - is, if they have no connection or relationship with its
rooted identities and intentions. Then, all they are doing is giving is a
commentary and engaging a small elite in the process of distant canon building,
which become fake diversions, away from actual real forms of grounded, cultural
expression being made in its own terms.
A context on this can be seen on a video Graham Burnett from Spiralseed when he
interviewed us... "The latest episode of our series of Design 4 ACTION
Permaculture Stories features Ruth Catlow and Marc Garrett in discussion with
Graham Burnett about Furtherfield, UK's leading organisation for art shows,
labs, & debates around critical questions in art and technology, since 1996."
