Loophole to Happiness

Curated by Maja & Reuben Fowkes

Participating artists: Zbyne(k Baladrán, Adam Chodzko, Petra Feriancova,
Sinis(a Labrovic', Ciprian Muresan, Csaba Nemes, Nada Prlja, Janek
Simon, Péter Szabó and Katarina S(evic'.

Loophole to Happiness sets out to locate and explore the
freedom-enhancing loopholes that exist on the margins of repressive
social systems from East European communism to global capitalism. Faced
with the perfection of techniques of absorbing criticism and the
systematic mobilisation of our creativity, sociability and sentiments
for economic ends, the search is on for new forms of resistance to the
endless pressure of production. This exhibition takes the inventive
strategies of worker resistance under communism as the starting point
for fresh attempts to imagine exceptions, find escape routes and evade
the smooth surface of today's neo-liberal capitalist order.

Reclaim Happiness Symposium: Opposing Systems
Tranzitdisplay, Tuesday 24 May, 1-5pm

This symposium considers East European socialism and post-communist
capitalism as opposing systems and explores the tactics devised by
artists, dissidents and social activists to circumvent, escape or resist
them. Contributors include: Franco Berardi Bifo, Tamás St.Auby, Miklós
Haraszti, Jiri Skala, Fedor Blascak, Adam Chodzko and Maja & Reuben Fowkes.

This project is realised in partnership with Trafó House of Contemporary
Arts, Muzeum Sztuki Lodz, Futura Centre for Contemporary Art,
Tranzitdisplay and AMT Project and is supported by Visegrad Fund and
European Cultural Foundation.
