LOOPHOLE TO THE UNIVERSE

DIVUS LONDON | en

We are sorry to bother. You should really care about the credit crunch and downturn. But please use your last moments to glance at this show before you’re melted into a human vortex. Maybe then the rulers of the universe will forgive and you will benefit from last given chance.

Group exhibition arranged by

IFIDOTA (Institute for Intergalactic Dissemination of The Arts)

and

DIVUS (Dry Intelligence Versus University Satanists)

“Would you mind if they steal the sky from you? Do you still care what’s up there? No. You probably prefer to peer downwards upon goods and sales. Maybe there are too many parties, or perhaps you waste your nights staring at your personal computer. Ah, it makes your life very complicated; you could drown in those glowing blue seas. There are few opportunities to flee from this trap. But there still is a chance. We’d like you to know that there remain a few loopholes left to see the sky—to the universe. And if you still remember who you did meet up there in your dreams, if your mind still has some conception about these impossible remote regions - then feel free to join us.“

	Nick Land – An Experiment in Inhumanism
	Nick Land was a British philosopher but is no longer, though he is not dead. The almost neurotic fervor with which he scratched at the scars of reality has seduced more than a few promising academics onto the path of art that offends in its originality. The texts that he has left behind are reliably revolting and boring, and impel us to castrate their categorization as “mere” literature.

Why political intellectuals, do you incline towards the proletariat? In commiseration for what? I realize that a proletarian would hate you, you have no hatred because you are bourgeois, privileged, smooth-skinned types, but also because you dare not say that the only important thing there is to say, that one can enjoy swallowing the shit of capital, its materials, its metal bars, its polystyrene…

If you know your way around, you might discover that every month and maybe even every week you stand the chance to receive money for your cultural project. Successful applicants have enough money, average applicants have enough to keep their mouths shut, and the unsuccessful ones are kept in check by the chance that they might get lucky in the future. One natural result has been the emergence of…

Pověsti o těžkých časech na trhu s uměním jsou opět velmi přehnané...

Letošní 50. ročník Art Basel přilákal celkem 93 000 návštěvníků a sběratelů z 80 zemí světa. 290 prémiových galerií představilo umělecká díla od počátku 20. století až po současnost. Hlavní sektor přehlídky, tradičně v prvním patře výstavního prostoru, představil 232 předních galerií z celého světa nabízející umění nejvyšší kvality. Veletrh ukázal vzestupný trend prodeje prostřednictvím galerií jak soukromým sbírkám, tak i institucím. Kromě hlavního veletrhu stály za návštěvu i ty přidružené: Volta, Liste a Photo Basel, k tomu doprovodné programy a výstavy v místních institucích, které kvalitou daleko přesahují hranice města tj. Kunsthalle Basel, Kunstmuseum, Tinguely muzeum nebo Fondation Beyeler.
