…Let’s come back once again to the organisational form of that
movement
its opponents like to call anti-globalisation while those involved talk
of
global justice. The organisational form (if it is permissible to use the
singular at all in this context) is a phenomenon in as much as it obeys
neither the normal rules of declarative ascription of identity nor the
logic of an apparatus. It is about taking sides not making parties,
although the borderline between engagement and institutionalisation is
not
always easy to draw… Perhaps only historians will be able to
determine
what happened in Seattle or Genoa and whether the conceptual tools of a
future policy were forged in Pôrto Alegre. But we don’t want to wait
that
long.
Organisational Forms is an aesthetic speculation about the
chances of a
goal-oriented working together that derives its power and charm from
certain moments of indecision – not be confused with indecisiveness!
This
aesthetic speculation takes the form of an exhibition (oh, how
conventional we dare to be!). However the clandestine interest is not to
“get the political experience over,” that is, to given it adequate
expression; no, our interest lies in taking the experience and making
representations from it.
Concept by: Roger M. Buergel and Ruth Noack, in
collaboration with Gregor
Podnar, and with contributions by Peio Aguirre and Leire
Vergara.
