‘In the beginnning was Debord…’

studio1.1’s Xmas extravaganza explores Situationism in we hope a suitably random way. We’re well aware that there can’t be Situationist art as such, it’s a contradiction in terms. We know too that, in Blake’s ultra-visionary foreshadowing of Hegel (‘without contraries there’s no progression’), without contradictions there is just no dialectic.

And in the years since the Situationists sought to define themselves and increasingly what and who they were NOT, there can’t be a single artist who however mistakenly hasn’t felt a Situationist sciatic twinge. (to further mis-quote, this time a fictional character ‘…only the ‘Situation’ has grown small’)

Straddling the New Year we bring together just for Christmas (not for life) a group of artists who can be defined at the very least as ‘not NOT Situationist’.

Should art have a message? If it does, how is it best communicated? Should art shout its message from the rooftops or are subtle and hidden meanings more effective? Can visual art communicate in ways other art forms cannot? How can artists be heard through the overload of visual culture? Why don’t artists just stop dithering and Cut to the Chase?

For two weeks at Bash Studios, RART will create a sustainable gallery, artist studio and education room all in one.
