Within human’s behaviour it is still expression of feelings by the
abstract means of music, gestures, speech and pictures that makes
art unique and thrilling. Again and again it is this quality of art that
attracts attention to fresh and unorthodox coherence. Concurrent
the world has come to an edge at which we have to resume and
rethink our hitherto existence intensely, seriously and we are well
advised to do it effectively. For this reason our future has a special
need of articulating ourselves with implicitly more substance than
shows, phrases and hollow exhibitionism. Paltry exclusiveness will
not help to solve the occurring disorientation and shifting of
societies.
We lack of the courage and the earnest attempt to make ourselves
and our real actual needs understood. We urgently require expressing
our diversities and our commonness on this planet. Thus we might
need art and creativity as a trailblazer for new ways of a constructive
and peaceful face-to-face interaction. Hence the often visionary ways
of how art approaches and comments current situations might even
be catalytic.
For this purpose art needs a surrounding open and reassuring for
everyone who is interested in designing new ways of dialogues and
coexistence. Within such an open-minded atmosphere art can
profoundly assist with making this a becoming human century.
But if we let it happen that art degenerates to a lifestyle attitude or
exclusiveness for any self-appointed art specialists the honest
attempts and contributions of art and artists to an attentive,
respectful world are threatened and discredited.
To prevent such a tendency, maybe more artists and curators will
and want to run international gatherings like Biennales themselves.
We are ready to join, to contribute and to clench and will continue
projects within the artists-run-initiative T.act!
