“Then our closures open up, our openings release their juices, our openings close. The solid foam begins to flow, loosens. The structure and the material of the impersonal model, its frame, its filling, its chain-like entirety, its network of connections, the finite infinite gelatinous flowering obscurity begins to boil and blaze at its boundaries and beneath its boundaries.”
[Ferenc Juhász]
The monopoly of political power and violence is becoming increasingly pervasive in the arenas of culture, free thought, and social action. Are we capable of rebirth, of developing new utopian frameworks? Can we regain our aesthetic and political autonomy in the everyday life of post-history, or will the collectivist emotional world continue to exist only as a spectacular culture, a shadow world?
In the aggressive shadow of today’s socio-political systems, the new members of FKSE seek answers to questions of death, mourning, and the life that springs from it, many of them presenting their earlier works. The exhibition leads from farewell to mourning to the realization that, underground, we all ultimately decompose into community.
We bury ourselves in the institutional graveyard of late capitalism because we know that life and art will inevitably become one and the same underground. Resurrection is not the preserve of the heavens; the difficult work of liberation must be done in the material world.
