The Beauty Of Violence
7 September 2007 to 23 November 2007

Violence confronts us with death, death confronts us with life, and life in turn confronts us with the idea of our own being, what it means to be human.

As a phenomenon, the glamour of violence exploits the hidden instincts, fantasies, dreams and nightmares that reside in the substrata of our consciousness – deep existential feelings, many of which are too monstrous in their cruelty to be openly expressed. Perhaps they are remnants of an earlier time in our evolutionary process, like a kind of mental appendix to our consciousness. Perhaps they are inherently part of our survival and reproductive instincts – I don’t know. I am neither a psychologist nor a behavioural scientist. But what I do know is that the only time we can even remotely try to understand this repressed world of dark feelings is when we project them into the space of art, which – I would argue – is in itself a gesture of compassion.

However, it would be far too simple to see art as merely a parallel mental ‘fantasy’ world, a safe area for the sublimation of negative psychic energy into more positive channels. Art, too, is of this world, existing right in the midst of the turbulence of ideological and religious interpretations of what constitutes reality – and what is admissible to it. I am not even talking about outright censorship. I am talking about what we allow ourselves to conceive, inside our minds.

Emerging from the many perspectives on violence and the many ethical, philosophical and behavioural concerns is one quintessential question; it is a question we dread to ask: Is violence the thing that makes us human?

TRUTH AGAIN                                                            watch dvd in DasArts library
19 February 2007 to 27 April 2007

Mentors:
Cornel Bierens (NL) writer, artist, clinical psychologist
Benda Hofmeyr (ZA) philosopher

The search for truth is often associated with the ivory tower of academia but in actual fact it falls within the purview of everyone who tries to get to the bottom of things. But does truth exist? Isn’t truth a goal that can never be attained?

Throughout the history of philosophy, this relativistic approach to truth has always been regarded as a reaction against absolutists. Relativism might have reigned supreme during the last decades of the 20th century but our present postmodernist era is drawing to an end. The recent upsurge of fundamentalism and extremism is symptomatic of the turning tide. These fanatical outbursts aside, it is no longer a shame to talk about truth, to believe in it. This is not a mere relapse into absolutism, however. Beyond these binary oppositions there is now talk of truth as something both personal and objective.

Our attempt to make the notion of truth productive in our work as artistic/cultural producers was informed by the thinking of the French philosopher Alain Badiou. According to Badiou, we only come into being in any meaningful sense in relation to an event of truth. A truth-event radically redefines the way things are and can take place in one of four possible settings: in the fervour of artistic production, in the passion of love, in the elation of a scientific discovery, or in the upheaval of a political revolution. Whether artistic, amorous, scientific or political, an event turns the world as we know it upside down. The operative question in the ethic of truths is: how will I continue to exceed my own being? How to become the Immortal that I am capable of being?

On how political a body
Is/has to be/could be/should be/wants to be/lacks to be/tries to be/avoids to be/needs to be


The Political Body: a conceptual reality in-transition, was a ten week series of lectures and workshops specifically designed to proactively deal with the role and representation of the body in all its different facets. While focusing on the conflictual socio-cultural lens during ten weeks, we adressed the body's representation and symbolic manifestations in a multi-dynamic context within its own performative reality. In treating the culturally transformed body through the prism of performative realities and through the prism of a real-time confrontation, looked at the body struggling through its own imprisoned archetypes. Through distinguished guests we reflected on the politics of the body by way of the skin, the notion of race, sexual preference, physical and cultural manipulation, religious and political ideologies. We examined the body through the microscope of its individual placement and its historical connections inside our current ideological systems.
 
The block created  awareness of the many different qualities connected to the body and enabled our artists/participants to make clear decisions on the use of the body in their future works and creations.
