MishMash: #Undestroyable (2017)

This is not about fashion or design, but an art protest and a flash mob. 
The Russian Parliament (Duma) is going to pass a new federal law “On Renovation”, that people call “On Deportation”. The bill contradicts the 35th article of the Russian Constitution about the Right of Private Property and basically repeals the Constitution of 1993. 

According to the bill any house may be pronounced decrepit by the Moscow city authorities and transferred to the domain of the newly formed Renovation Department. From that moment people’s rights of Private Property on homes and apartments no longer apply. Owners and residents have to move out from their homes in 60 days after the notification and into locations provided by the Department. The bill does not leave owners and residents any options, such as choosing the new location, receiving financial compensation for the housing or investments made into homes.

This project encourages anyone to photograph their homes and print them on the shirts. An artistic expression for the present-day urban camouflage. No political slogans, as they can be punishable in today’s Russia, just – wear your houses. We are #undestroyable !

Sasha Kurmaz: The Study of Public Attention (2016)


I was walking through Stadtpark in Graz, and met a lot of sculptures of famous Austrian cultural figures. I decided to replace two sculptures and observe the reaction of the citizens.
During the month, the sculptures were on different pedestals and no one noticed the substitution.

Thomas Geiger: A stage on which to empty your pockets (2017)


Thomas Geiger lives and works in Vienna. His interdisciplinary work originates from the interaction with the public space. On some occasions the artist appears as observer, in others he takes action himself. He shifts the perspective on existing situations through minimal activities, uncovering hidden social structures. He is co-founder of the Mark Pezinger publishing house for artists’ books, initiator of the Kunsthalle3000 (an institution as intervention in public space) as well as the Festival of Minimal Actions (a festival for ephemeral actions and interventions).

The work of Thomas Geiger is now on show at:
Sperling Gallery, Munich.

 

Harmen de Hoop: Water (survival #3) Netherlands, 2017

Today is Election Day in the Netherlands.
Let’s face it, things can go really wrong.

That is why I buried storages of emergency supplies at various places in the Netherlands.
Yesterday I buried 40 liters of water at the location 52.185898, 5.234631.
