We artists don’t create artworks. We invent practices / Lxs artistas no hacemos obras. Inventamos prácticas
by Silvio Lang
Bilingual manifiesto by Silvio Lang, on artistic practice as a power to traverse, dispute and revolt against contemporary capitalist and neoliberal ways of life.
Centuries of exploitation have fetishized and commodified our activity and alienized our subjectivities to culture and market’s power devises. The artwork is secondary to the artistic practice we do. What we do is invent sensitive practices.
These practices are ways of use and experimentation protocols concerning space, time, body organs, movement, perception. As an effect of these uses, we artists and public or artists not yet self-perceived as such, compose affections and unprecedented concepts.
