What connects us today ans tomorrow ? The need for human activity. The ongoing emergence of our subjectivity requires the invention of objectivity. We create objects just as we create subjectivities, in order to meet each other. As a condition of a world shared between humans, objects are, between us, and they are the emergence of both an objective truth and a subjective experience without which we could not live.

In a context of growing inequalities and social fractures, art could be the place where we might find a moment to resist encroaching destruction, what I would call “denial of reality.” In an increasingly interconnected and dematerialized world, a certain disregard for what things are, their materiality and their very temporality, is taking hold. Yet things and their interconnections are what hold us together and sustain the meaning of our actions.

What is an experiment? How does it contrast with the passive reception of information encouraged by consumer society, and how does confronting art with ordinary life also mean a new way of looking at human activities? How can art enrich the common experience, normally distinct from the sphere of art objects so valued, distanced and sacralized? As a response to these questions, I have invited three artists whose working methods and interests resonate with these concerns: Elvire Bonduelle, Rada Boukova and Robin Meier.

As their initial project is simple in terms of execution but very clear in conceptual terms, it is responsive to adjustments in time constraint, interplay with other works and ways of collaborating with other participants, other artists and the evolving public space.
