PROYECTO DE GESTION INDEPENDIENTE. APROXIMACIONES AL CONCEPTO

PLANET 22

-How does your space define its independent character?

There is no independent space, only different ways of beeing dependent:
In our case, there was for two years ( the beginning) no money at all, so we were depending of the artist's will to pay for his own exhibition. We are constantly depending on friends to help us with translation, transport, logistic…..etc). it's an alternative kind of depending, functioning, exchange, participation.

We defend planet22 as our artisic work, so the external financial support can't demande any conditions of the work.

-Does your curatorial practice have a specific orientation and is it based on
an established model of curating?

Our space is an inbetween situation: in/out, public/privat…. we're dealing with it's condition: the space is the curator, the emplacement and the size imposes certain questions that lead us to artists who deal with the same conditions and questions.

-How does your space interpret ideas about power and politics?

The space itself has a public and a private side, so it invites artists do think about politics and poetics, about publicity and spectacles. The street is the red light street in geneva, prostitutes are working in the streets, one I s also living in the house, so there is a lot of power and non-power relations pending in the air.

-How is your space run financially?

After two years of no-money-at-all, we're getting money from the state of switzerland, and two culture-fondations of mayor swiss-firms. We are able to pay transportation , production and paper-stuff,

-Describe the artistic scene in your local context

-Does your space have a specific policy regarding publications?

No.

-Does your space promote the insertion of local artistic production into a
global context? How and why

we're trying to organize our programm that we invite every year 2 artistes from geneva oor the region. We promote them at the same level as the other artist we work with, there is no disco poster with the wellknow dj in Mayor letters and the local ones in the bottom too small to read.. it is important to us to insert at least one local artist in our annual programme.
