The spectrum of political representation is exhausted. The creation of subjects truly free, from left to right, is a chimera forgotten and consumed. The excess of information and communication services explores the separation between reality and simulation by putting in place the feeling of a suffocating existential cacophony. Nothing of what is presented is, by far, at the height of the situation. Even in his silence (by excess noise) the population seems infinitely more adult than all the puppets who vie for governing it. The crisis of representativeness and the distance between citizens and the State leaves bare the imposition of a repressive social model and shows the true structures of a power that is exercised from a pharaonic verticality.

The dictatorship of capital not already lurks behind the mists of a redemptive humanism and requires more and more sacrifices and pressure on some historical conquests of social justice does not cease to increase. The human condition is reduced to the imposition of the powerful over the weak; where individualism, cynicism and indifference are operating '' values '' of those who follow the course of the official story and try to "progress".

Fetish favorites of a rotten society do not deserve more opportunities, nor desvelamientos, nor aesthetic niceties. Gradually strengthened insight and an attitude critical on the great legacy democratic pillars, about comfort and safety devices; about bubbles filled with antidepressants and surrounded by hungry canned happiness greenhouses.

The selected artistic proposals clarify and deepen in this attitude critical to uncovering any of these harmful course of our civilization. They question the culture of spectacle - where we are to a greater or lesser extent all caught up - that only increases the distance between our ability to criticize and immovable molds of idealized versions of a stunted human Park. Perhaps there will be no solution to the present situation because there is a language for the common experience.But it is precisely at this point where highlighted the relevance of a collective exhibition of this nature where the problems that are seeking to create a language, a social conscience, and a commitment to tell what we have before our eyes in the middle of radical circumstances that are, at least, unavoidable.
