Capturing the Moving Mind Exhibit Helsinki Finland
April 20, 2006 - 6:37pm -- stevphen
ART AS AN ACT OF RESISTANCE IN COGNITIVE CAPITALISM
Capturing the Moving Mind, ARS 06 Kiasma Rear Window 20.4.-2.7.2006.
In September 2005 a meeting took place in the Trans-Siberian train. It gathered a pack of people ... artists, economists, researchers, philosophers, activists who were interested in the new logic of the economy (knowledge economy, attention economy, biopolitical economy), the new forms of war and politics (war against terrorism) and in the new cooperative modes of creation and resistance (precariarity, terrorist cells)... together in a space moving in time. Spatially moving bodies and bodies moving in time (through nine time zones) created an event, a meeting that not really 'was' but 'is going on'.
Capturing the Moving Mind exhibition tells about this organizational experiment. The exhibition at the Kiasma Rear Window is part of the ARS 06 exhibition. It weaves a connection between art and politics, between art as an act of resistance and economy as production of life. Today our thinking and emotional abilities, our imagination and subjectivity are increasingly put to work in economic production. That is why the question of art as an act of resistance and creation of new forms of autonomous and good life – a life in which our ways and acts of living are always about the possibilities of life – intervenes directly at the core of this enterprise. The question of experimental life and the critique of capitalism must today be seen as one.“At stake here is an experiment in counter-modulation… Capturing the Moving Mind is a performance of movement, an experiment with percepts and affects, with thought, action and relation... It is a theatre of the future.” – Brian Holmes, art critic, Paris and New York
