DE PROXÉMICA
DE PROXÉMICA is an interactive video-instalation that pretends to create a situation in which one can play with the relativity of time and space by means of the representation of an environment where social relations are at stake.

In the Future No One Will Be Famous
31 October 2006 – 14 January 2007
Press preview: Monday, 30 October 2006, 11.00 a.m.
Under the programmatic title Anonymous: In the Future No One Will Be Famous, the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt presents an exhibition with works by 11 international artists who – like the curator – will remain unnamed.
In their Notes toward a Manifesto, the initiators of the exhibition proclaim: “Anonymous artists wish to wriggle the status quo into a status incognitus. Their aim is to remove the increasing barbarization of thought via short circuits and fast lanes created by the marketing of artists as brands whose works have become masterpieces in ignorance of philosophy.”
Unlike other manifestations of anonymity in the current contemporary art scene – where artists take on pseudonyms – this exhibition is unique in gathering a group of artists who have put themselves undercover for a certain period of time (vaguely stated as “until the expiration date has been reached”) ...
... Andy Warhol – whose artistic reproduction of everyday images and celebrated faces became world-famous even beyond connoisseurs of art – made the prophetic statement in 1968: In the future everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.
Undoubtedly, this certainly approximates the truth of the devaluation of the status of fame and the assembly line production of so-called art stars. With the popularization of fame, however, comes an unwieldy hunger for fame that must be fed – a vicious circle as more and more famous people are fabricated, who, likewise, possess less and less of the “aura” of fame and, consequently, are quickly and easily replaced. Anyone who is world-famous today, thus the tautological formula, will be soon forgotten tomorrow.
CATALOGUE: “ANONYM /ANONYMOUS – In the Future No One Will Be Famous,” anonymous and Max Hollein (eds.), with a preface by Max Hollein and texts by Dominic Eichler, Stephan Heidenreich, April Elizabeth Lamm, Eckhart Nickel, and Hans Ulrich Obrist.
