Aksioma – Institute for Contemporary Art, Ljubljana, in collaboration

*Jacob Appel​baum *
/*SAMIZDATA: Evidence of Conspiracy */
/Solo exhibition /
http://aksioma.org/samizdata

Curated by Tatiana Bazzichelli 

*Aksioma | Project Space*
Komenskega 18, Ljubljana, Slovenia

*Opening: WED, 20 January 2016 at 7 pm*

The exhibition /SAMIZDATA: Evidence of Conspiracy /by Jacob Appelbaum, a
post-national independent computer security researcher, journalist and
photographer, is focused on a series of portraits which represent the
character of a whistleblower: a person, typically working for some state
apparatus, that for some reason chooses to drop out of the organization
he or she is working for and circulate information that, according to
the rules of that apparatus, should be kept secret. Bill Binney, Laura
Poitras, Glenn Greenwald (with David Miranda), Julian Assange, Sarah
Harrison and Ai Weiwei do not match the traditional perception of
whistleblowers as spies because of their ethical motivations, their
belief that keeping such information secret is something that can damage
the life of a modern democracy, and their faith in the role of another
important player in the life of a modern democracy: the press.

Six colored infrared photos are shown as Cibachrome prints, using
analogue surveillance film to portrait people who are uncovering
surveillance itself. The exhibition, curated by Tatiana Bazzichelli and
realized in collaboration with the NOME Gallery in Berlin, will also
feature the sculpture Panda to Panda (2015) realized by Appelbaum in
collaboration with Chinese visual artist and dissident Ai Weiwei.
