Open Space Zentrum für Kunstprojekte and LABfactory extend their collaboration and invited Alexander Nikolic to curate an exhibition to facilitate a zone of communicative transfer beyond physical borders within the realm of creative practice.
A position is taken by Alexander Nikolic, captured in his proposed title, WORLD-EX-POSITION along side with the problem in current political thinking. This emerges in the manner in which relationships of forces reveals a ticklish subject where different practices of capitalism and the regulatory institutional procedures of societies mediated. Driven forward by the fact that our critique began as all critiques begin: with doubt, in order to TO BEGIN AGAIN FROM THE BEGINNING leaves us with what brings back the production of desire to life in its irreducible absence to our immediate sensibility. These serve and generate a need for a change, work against transformation into the elements of normalisation and resist powerful strategies of control. This haunts us with taking a deci[sion] on what cannot be decided upon by remaining faithful to a contingent event in an attempt to integrate the impossible to the reality.
