BEYOND THE PARANTEL WATCH IS DANGER TO THE INFANT. BEYOND THE THRESHOLD IS DARKNESS. BEYOND THE SECURITY OF SOCIAL AFFIRMATION IS THE ADVENTURE OF ART.

Christian Falsnaes presents the performance Beyond the parental watch is danger to the infant. Beyond the threshold is darkness. Beyond the security of socal affirmation is the adventure of art. In his works – performances, installations and paintings – Christian Falsnaes scrutinizes our relationship and our behaviour in relation to and within public space. In the process, he uses different formal languages that range from Graffiti and Hip Hop to video games and Karaoke, up to Action Painting.

BEYOND THE PARANTEL WATCH IS DANGER TO THE INFANT. BEYOND THE THRESHOLD IS DARKNESS. BEYOND THE SECURITY OF SOCIAL AFFIRMATION IS THE ADVENTURE OF ART.
Currently, we encounter these changes and catastrophes being discussed in regional public debates by people from the scientific community, government agencies, and politics, who use the authority of expert images to describe the ongoing changes and impending catastrophes. We do not see images that deviate from the established norms of scientific representation in the public sphere, and the voices of those directly affected by these changes are heard little or not at all in public debate. However, the presence of the planet as an active force producing its own images and ways of sharing them gives power to these alternative voices, languages, and images.
Whereas Marina Abramović will continue to benefit from her position of a stock market player who invested well her hard earned capital into a lucrative mega-corporation called Art World, Václav Pišvejc, on the contrary, will, in his fight for acknowledgement, forever remain mainly a Sisyphus-like figure and a question mark hovering above normality and normalization of contemporary culture.
