Revolution – What Revolution? Against what, what for, with whom and how?
„Postmodern philosophy privilidges heterogeniosity, difference and pluralism. Repetition and difference have taken over the place of the new and the identity. All identities (ideas of entity) are obtained as simulated and generated, like an optical effect through the game of repetition and difference. “(Marion Strunk 1)

Is political art dead? Statements and prognosis of theoreticians, scientists, curators and artists give cause for this diagnosis.
Does the ability of art to criticise the world and life beyond its own realm, and even by doing that change both, no longer exist - because contemporary art manages itself without the practice of critical self-reflexivity? (Boris Buden2)
Does “politics via art” still exist or does one limit on “art with politics”? (Kube Ventura3)

Revolution – an insider game – a domestic policy within its producents (Kube Ventura4), a resistance from the insular going against it’s self drawn lines? A game of repetition? Like this we are shifting artistically (artificially) through discourses, from plateau to plateau - cicular, determined, deterritorialized, neoliberal, geoliberal, transaggressive and in general political correct. Always accompanied by the illusionary demand, to create the political place by taking action? Are we twittering through the world from inside the insular knots of our laptops – are we floating as loose modules – ready to dock if efficient?
Revolt she said (Julia Kristeva4) – an aged voice is whispering out of the depths of history – remaining present as an echo of binary dialogues – noise?

Evolution as solution? How critical, how resistant are we, against what we refer our resistance? What does resistance do with us?
An inner revolution? How are political postures and art practice configured which devote themselves to the theme and claim socially impact, uncover power structures and hierarchies? And – how consequentially are methods, technique and self-understanding of contemporary art collectives designed? Is there a development, an evolution or a pre-programmed failure? Revolution? – arttransponder invites to an excursion.
