Leaflet accompanying the similar named exhibition at Onomatopee (June 6 - July 7, 2011). It presented ten artists renegotiating our public sphere by engaging relationships between people, structures and modes of organization. The exhibition aimed thus to broaden our perception about the functions of spatial and social surroundings. As gestures of subjective opposition the artists inserted disconcerting moments into our daily, economically optimised procedures. Sediments on film, photo, in installation or drawing, show how the actions attract and repel, how they take shape in an interplay between beauty and subversion. Act / OUT brought together artistic interventions in public space which position the creative deed in the middle of society. Triggered by an intrinsic urge, the individually executed act looks very much like a gesture that evokes persistently a belief to place the ’small story’ in wider realms. By addressing relationships between people, patterns and modes of organization, Act / OUT displayed artistic performances that readjust our collective environment. This sphere of intervention releases mindsets that enable you and me to relate with public sphere otherwise.
