Aesthetic
has long become a commodity of the twenty-first century, has already
been internalized by mass culture and has been implemented by the market
as a functioning construct of values, lifestyles and experiences.
Trisha Baga & NO BROW is
a trial version of two separate shows interlacing and corresponding
with each other. It takes as its point of departure the interest of
young artists in the appearance and design of the everyday and its free
circulation through visual circuits of distribution. By regurgitating
styles of their surroundings, the artistic positions in Trisha Baga & NO BROW
not only reflect the re-calibrated relation between applied and
autonomous art, but also probe the currency of design as a diagnostic
tool to uncover the hidden ecologies of the things that fill the
lifeworld. However utopian current approaches to design may be, this
show focusses on artistic strategies of re-staging and reiterating
designed networks, activities and services. Doing so, the artists that
come together in the show explore anew the modernist promise of
universality and democracy in today’s era, in which the modern dualisms
of subject and object have irrevocably proven obsolete.
After
all, as Bruno Latour would have it, only a conception of a democracy
expanded by a non-hierarchical inclusion of things, or non-human beings
and networks can meet the challenges of the present. The mode of
distraction here acts as the show’s undercurrent to parallel today’s
shifting relation between the tangible, the virtual and the detached
flows of information. This mode is reflected in the show’s format that
resembles a one-armed bandit. Trisha Baga’s
solo installation shall hereby act as the initiating coin – an
activating stream of consciousness, surfacing various strings of thought
and different layers of questioning the possibilities of being and
making today. By staging comments and works of Benjamin Hirte, Lisa
Holzer, David Jourdan, Philipp Timischl, and Nicole Wermers in the
gallery spaces next to Baga’s installation, NO BROW
will showcase the contemporary nexus of production and consumption and
the role of visual encodings and unfixing circulation within it. All
artists are invited to contribute to this investigation of contemporary
strategies of marketing and the “universal merging with the universality
of the commodity form in the amnesic code of exchange value.”1
