Concept: Roger M. Buergel and Ruth Noack, in collaboration
with Gregor Podnar, and with a contribution by Peio
Aguirre and Leire Vergara
Let's come back once again to the organisational
form of that movement its opponents like to call anti-globalisation
while those involved talk of global justice. The organisational
form (if it is permissible to use the singular at all
in this context) is a phenomenon in as much as it obeys
neither the normal rules of declarative ascription of
identity nor the logic of an apparatus. It is about
taking sides not making parties, although the borderline
between engagement and institutionalisation is not always
easy to draw
Perhaps only historians will be able
to determine what happened in Seattle or Genoa and whether
the conceptual tools of a future policy were forged
in Pôrto Alegre. But we don't want to wait that
long.
Organisational Forms is an aesthetic speculation about
the chances of a goal-oriented working together that
derives its power and charm from certain moments of
indecision - not be confused with indecisiveness! This
aesthetic speculation takes the form of an exhibition
(oh, how conventional we dare to be!). However the clandestine
interest is not to "get the political experience
over," that is, to given it adequate expression;
no, our interest lies in taking the experience and making
representations from it.
