Juarez, and a screening programme.

“For the last sixty years, capitalism has been running a pretty tight 
ship in the West. But in increasing numbers, pirates are hacking into 
the hull and the holes are starting to appear. Privately owned property, 
ideas, and privileges are leaking into the public domain beyond anyone’s 
control." - Matt Mason, The Pirate's Dilemma

Reminder - Piratbyrån and Friends traces the stories of cultural sharing 
and affinity-building among the activities and values of the members of 
Piratbyrån (The Bureau of Piracy), a Swedish artist/activist group 
established to support the free sharing of information, culture and 
intellectual property. The exhibition presents screenings, installations 
and artworks by various members of the group, including a newly 
commissioned work by artists Geraldine Juarez and Evan Roth. The show 
also features a new networked audio project which mediates their rich 
archive and foregrounds the role of piracy as an agent of innovative 
disruption and cultural transmission.
