Schizo-Culture:Cracks in the Street.

About

A project taking the seminal 1975 event Schizo-Culture: On Prisons and Madness as its point of departure. Cracks in the state of things, in the state of places, in the state of norms… Cracks leading us despite ourselves to new social practices and to new aesthetic practices which will reveal themselves as less and less separate from each other and more and more in complicity… - Felix Guattari, Cracks in the Street, Flash Art, 1987. SPACE is proud to present an exhibition and event series taking the seminal 1975 event: Schizo-Culture: On Prisons and Madness as its point of departure. Reengaging with the myriad cultural connections and fractures the original event exposed, the project will feature an expanded and speculative schizo-cultural archive alongside a series of new artistic commissions, screenings, performances and public discussions. Cracks in the Street will feature new exhibition and performance commissions by Silvia Maglioni and Graeme Thompson (Terminal Beach), Sidsel Meineche Hansen, and Susan Stenger, alongside recordings and ephemera from the original 1975 event and the Semiotext(e) archive (courtesy of Fales Library and Special Collections, New York).
