Pepp March for Art -2010 – an initiative organized by a network of dancers, free lance workers in the field of communication, researchers, musicians, and artists.
With Michele Masucci as our guide to a selection of theoretical texts the Reading group will be adressing issues on the conditions of production for cultural workers today. The collective reading and discussions will be conducted performatively by moving around in the space rather than sitting still.
The seminars related to the pepp march for art will explore the relationship between the artistic practice and the changes of the mode of capitalist production has undergone in rapid pace during the last decades, where we have seen a shift at the very core of the production of value, away from the factory worker whose picture is still haunting us to a new figure that we can dub, the immaterial or the cognitive worker."
"One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do. Two can be as bad as one, it’s the loneliest number since the number one. No it’s the sadest experience that you’ll ever know. Yes it’s sadest experience that you’ll ever know because one is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do." (Harry Nilsson, One)
-So, we want to build a substantial community of friends together and leave the number one!
"Art will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered. Art's life is its own." (The prisoner)
