There are many reasons why artists appear as fictive persons or
anonymously in a collective and create narratives situated between
fiction and reality: as reference to gaps or blind spots in an
otherwise discursively safeguarded canon, as a critique of
institutional structures of authorship or their representational
politics of normative gender roles and ethnicity, as protection from
political persecution, and, last, not least, to demystify the inflated
figure of the artist person. Collective authorship is currently
situated on the fault lines of a deconstructed, postmodern concept of
the subject and the anarcho-activist forms of resistance and critique
of capitalism that may (and must) be organized collectively. These
formations also refer to issues of virtual identities and the
phantasms of their respective security policies. Narrative and
documentary evidence still seems to be central to the construction of
alternative identities and the camouflaging of their fictitiousness
when it comes to revealing the claim to truth of both historicizing
discourses and canonical formations in art history: historiography and
memory can be reconstructed and reevaluated this way.

In this respect the exhibition attempts to trace several questions:
Does the "death of the author" go hand in hand with the rebirth of the
audience or the reinvention of artistic sovereignty? Is the desire to
contest authenticity and to form collective authorship a means to
resist the post-Fordist pressure of individualization? The
artist-subject seems to depend on splitting up by means of the
aforementioned strategies of camouflage and disguise in order to
"survive," as he/she already has to play so many roles and fill so
many gaps in today's capitalist society.
