INTENTIONAL STANCE

When the unthinkable, in some form suddenly appears before us, how do we relate to it? De Ateliers 2012 offspring clique didn't settle for a posture in this regard. Within the two years, they became increasingly aware and pushed forward their epistemological inquiry, genuinely further. In their De Ateliers studios, the institutionalized space for excess and incommensurability, the nine artists purposefully strived to open up a space of possibilities while resisting the constraints. This liberty wasn't declared but constructed and scrambled along the hardship of the artist's practice. The exhibition is an exigency expression of the permanent tension in their perpetual quest.

Bojan Šarčević, 2012
