Using infiltration as a modus operandi, the artists of the show act in the realm of everyday life and create objects as well as situations, which aim at improving the world or making us aware of it.
Better being a virus than catching a cold deals with resisting methods. As today, hyper capitalism seems to be the only valid economic model, contemporary artists’ political involvement is slightly different from the activists’ in the 1970s.
This exhibition shows artists whose critical viewpoints aren’t that obvious. Their artworks are using infiltration strategies in everyday life, building up situations or objects that may improve the world or reveal its system.
Out of the art sphere into the world, the artworks mix up with social and economic reality. Not necessarily efficient, these artistic strategies cause instability, awkwardness or short-circuit.
