A man who finds himself confronted
with the face of the state
and the absurdity of the system,
which crushes his dignity
and tries to drive him mad…
How does he react? How does he act? How does he answer?
The only subversive critique of what goes on around us
is the insistent declaration
of an ethics and an aesthetics
against every ugliness and violence.
“Because aesthetics is the ethics of the future,
because aesthetics is not the ethics of the present,
because the aesthetics of the Greek present is fraud,
because aesthetics has no present here in Greece,
because in Greece the present is the past,
because this past has no future,
because the future is generally uncertain everywhere in the world
except in Greece, where it is certain because it is deadly,
because art is consolation
and refuge from misery and wretchedness,
because misery and wretchedness
have abounded in Greece in recent years,
because politics lacks aesthetics
because it lacks ethics…
For all these becauses and many more,
engaging with art in Greece
becomes an urgent problem.”
