Exhibition, Live Performance

Contest Theme
vice – Bad habit, imperfection, tendency towards evil. The word derives from the Latin vitium, physical defect, but is today used to indicate a much more complex, nebulous and elusive meaning. The change from the physical to the abstract fault, which comes from the etymology of the word, indicates a vice that does not relate from the model of perfection: it is abstract and impalpable. The vice might be a viscous mistake of choice. It can be smoking and alcoholism, emotional dependency, or 21st century vices such as Internet addiction and gaming disorder, as well as any habit that creates dependency on our soul, but that keeps us alive. And why not, what for us seems ordinary, for the other represents perdition.
The Happening invites each of us to get involved, exposing the vice that oppresses us by creating a unique work, exposing our sinful and mortal soul to everybody’s mercy. The white canvas strikes the respectability that pervades society, reminding us that nobody is innocent.
