<br />
CRITICAL BOTOX in times of 2.0 feudalism, foloseste o linie narativa fictiva cu inspiratie de tip tabloid, pentru a prinde forma intr-o publicatie online si intr-o serie de expozitii, prima dintre ele avand loc la PAVILION in Bucuresti.</font> <font size="3"><br />
<br />
"Proiectul se bazeaza pe un cadru personal, pe relatia prudenta a curatorului cu artistii care activeaza inspirational in mai multe zone sociale utilizand diverse forme de productie sau actiuni politice. Inteleasa ca o practica politica in sine, CRITICAL BOTOX sustine valoarea politica a contactului uman direct, in aceste vremuri confuze ale virtualizarii si dezumanizarii in interactiune co-individuala.</font> <font size="3"><br />
Publicatia online utilizeaza estetica revistelor de scandal ca pe un sofism vizual confuz, concentrandu-se pe realitatea continutului, pe mesajele politice ale lucrarii sau pe traiectoria artistului. Acestea servesc, manieristic, ca o legatura conceptuala intre diferite publicatii online si recursurile facilitate de artisti, aderandu-se publicului interesat in explorarea fiecareia dintre ele. </font> <font size="3"><br />
Fiecare expozitie, prima fiind cea de la Bucuresti, functioneaza ca un exemplu complex cu proiectie in publicatia online a expozitiei. Fiecare act curatorial reflecta eterogenitatea viziunilor si atitudinilor care rezulta din creatia artistica contemporana pentru a cuprinde spectrul larg al conditiilor politice intr-o lume globalizata." (Alex Brahim)</font> <font size="3"><br />
<br />
Expozitia va fi acompaniata de o publicatie realizata la finalul actului curatorial, precum si de un o publicatie tip poster/ziar dedicata primei expozitii care va contine structura generala a proiectului, ilustratii si texte de autori invitati. Publicatiile vor fi realizate la inchderea proiectelor pentru a finaliza cercetarea ce se desfasoara in timpul expozitiiloe. Design-ul grafic pentru acest proiect va fi realizat de studioul Los Trini din Barcelona.</font> <font size="3"><br />

<br />
CRITICAL BOTOX In times of 2.0 feudalism uses a fictional narrative line, a faux gossip magazine, to take its real form as an online process-publication and series of exhibitions, the first of which will take place on October 2012 at Pavilion in Bucharest.</font> <font size="3"><br />
<br />
"The project is based on the framework of personal, presential relationships that the curator sustains with the artists, whose work is in turn linked, from several thematic axes and production formats, to the political. Understood as a political practice in itself, CRITICAL BOTOX claims the political value of direct human contact in these trying times of virtualization and dehumanization in co-individual interaction.</font> <font size="3"><br />
The online publication uses the aesthetic of gossip magazines as visually distracting sophism, focusing on the reality of the content, the political interests of the work and artist trajectories. It serves, in this way, as a bridge to the different sites and recourses facilitated by the artists to a public that would be interested in exploring each of them. The textual contents emerge from a standard interview answered by all participants.<br />
Each exhibit functions as a sample set of the microcosms implied within this publication. They would also act as a reflection of the heterogeneity in visions and attitudes that stem from contemporary artistic creation to encompass the wide spectrum of the political conditions in a globalized world." (Alex Brahim)<br />
<br />
This exhibition at Pavilion shall be accompanied by a printed publication: a fold-out poster with the general structure of the project, a graphic illustration of the relationship framework in CRITICAL BOTOX and texts by guest authors. The graphic design for this project will be handled by Barcelona based studio Los Trini.</font> <font size="3"><br />
