Platform for (un)Solicited Research and Advice

Who are we?

1. Rousseau defines constitutional law as an “expression of a general will.” Whose general will is involved in this case? Who will establish the content of this constitution?

The participating artists establish the content. These artist are currently students at the Dutch Art Institute and the (soon to be ex-) members of the Platform for Unsolicited Research and Advise. FG will be available as a mediator, facilitating and initiating discussion, helping to distill a goal. Artists can ask FG, his role is not fixed or obligatory and he will not participate unless asked.

2. Are these people the artists and curators and invited advisors – during the preparatory phase of the exhibition?

Participating artists can invite advisors, but the invited advisors won’t be part of the constitution.

3. Do we also include other groups and individuals?

No.
