Breaking the Law

Sparwasser HQ, Berlin

The title does not express an urge to commit a crime. It is rather the intention to change the Law from within. To change history, to change society, to change the gender specifications with which we live. All in all to change dominating Western representation.

"Breaking the Law" does not express an urge to commit a crime. It is rather the intention to change the Law from within. To change history, to change society, to change the gender specifications with which we live. All in all to change dominating Western representation.

In this way "Breaking the Law" takes a feminist point of departure in its theoretical set-up. However the artists are not necessarily to be seen as feminist artists, since they do no specificly work with feminist issues. They can rather be characterized as artists who imply a thinking of resistance within their works of art in the way in which they describe or perform their chosen problematics and analyse their subject matter. It characterises all artist that they imply a deconstruction of conventionalism and it is in this very act that they break the law.

The exhibition in Sparwasser Hq is intended to be followed up by a "part two" exhibition, that will take place in Copenhagen in 2004. The curator would like to get in touch with artists, who relates to the these thoughts in their artistic projects.
