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 – 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.
Magda Tóthová Magda Tóthová
Borrowing heavily from fairy tales, fables and science fiction, the art of Magda Tóthová revolves around modern utopias and social models and their failures. Her works address personal and social issues, both the private and the political. The stylistic device of personification is central to the social criticism emblematic of her work and to the negotiation of concepts used to construct norms.…
