'...We are the revolt of the spirit; we believe that revolution is the inevitable vengeance of a spirit humiliated with your doings. We are not utopians; we can conceive this revolution only as a social form. If anywhere there are men and women who have seen a coalition form against them (traitors to everything that is not freedom, rebels of every sort, prisoners of common law), let them never forget that the idea of revolution is the best and most effective safeguard of the individual.'

La Révolution surréaliste, NO.5, Paris 1925.

In the creation of the project Revolution Now & Forever the starting point was a quote from the surrealist manifesto aiming to examine the relation between the Revolution and Art (artists as revoluated individuals). What was evident from the scrach was the long love relationship between Art and Revolution. Artists use Revolution as experimental probes for testing various social relations, public or private, and troday their works use a variety of media presentations, such as videos, performances, installations, public actions, lectures, talks and interactive net projects.

There is Alternative !

Exhibition Re: REFERENDUM takes place in the times that limit an individual's freedom with various censorship laws (ACTA, SOPA), times of economic crises, in which the neoliberal paradigm of having no alternative – is becoming increasingly deflated. The selected artists detect this large deflating body in their artwork, the body of capital, the body of the institution, the body of law, in focusing on various alternatives. They create new body politics, a new relation and attitude toward the basic contracts of our society, new utopias, new hymns, new feminisms, new media. This newness comes in form of missiles returned to society, this is a Re: that makes demands of itself, perpetuating itself through public, socially engaging topics thus creating the boomerang effect, it exits the cave to set its eyes upon Plato's sun filled with logotypes, paragraphs, annexes, contracts, dividends.
