In a-political exhibition, we’re not trying to show an a-political art, but rather to reinstate some spaces where political entity is present, however hidden, waiting to be discovered. It is possible to be effective without being direct? Is it possible to do “political art” by using a “different” image? With the increase of these proposals so direct and provocative, we wonder if there is another path, another way to address the problems of the contemporary society. The risk is to become hostages of our good conscience, our adherence to a noble mission that sometimes is the only way to legitimize poor, needy artistic practices. We discover it in exhibitions and biennials, waving as a flag, to fight and to clash against principles or situations, perhaps, however this politicization of art, these works so avowedly “against”, have obtained an opposite effect, we becoming anesthetized, they do not affect us more than the images we see on television or on the Internet every day, every time. The category of “political art”, has never ceased to develop becoming today one of the most widely used languages, perhaps as a sign of the difficulties of contemporary society.
