Real Artists don't have Teeth

Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten, Amsterdam

RijksakademieLIVE n.1 presents 'Real Artists don't have Teeth', a monologue written by Dora Garcia, performed by Jakob Tamm. After the performance Philippe Pirotte will moderate a discussion with the artist and the audience. Tinted by the artist's characteristic dark humour, the monologue Real Artists don't have Teeth examines the complexity in issues related to censorship, the involvement of artists with their audience and the meaning of mainstream and marginality. One male actor addresses these questions to the audience in a conflictual way. The ironical moral of the story seems that the real artist should always remain marginal to be safe from so-called mainstream 'wolves'. The contradictions of such a position point to the concept of counterculture, defined by psychiatrist and researcher Franco Basaglia as 'the culture of the deviant.' So, what then is the contract between the normal and the deviant, and what are the political and cultural implications of this agreement?
