STATEMENT
I propose a strategy of whispering – even in the case of political urgencies. Approach matters side-ways and with patience. Work in different contexts in order to allow for knowledge to grow from a diverse loam of perceptions – and enable the conversation to spread out. The conversation that goes on within the arts needs to connect with other disciplines, and essentially with other spheres entirely. Listen! – engage in conversations –Let “audiences” discover things for themselves, let them feel connected – be courageous – Time is of the essence. Time to build relations. Time to contemplate.
