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.“

There is nothing that has not already been done in culture, squeezed or pulled inside out, blown to dust. Classical culture today is made by scum. Those working in the fine arts who make paintings are called artists. Otherwise in the backwaters and marshlands the rest of the artists are lost in search of new and ever surprising methods. They must be earthbound, casual, political, managerial,…
