By using the convention of artist talks we tried to bring together different points of view: situations where ethics, although allegedly part of the discourse, are left behind either because of ill will or out of ignorance, negligence or vanity, or where ethics are simply left out of the equation altogether by the followers of art, for art’s sake. The six scenes in the performance are inspired either by discussions with audiences I have performed in front of in the last couple of years at home or abroad, or by interviews, and although the similarities with real people are not accidental, the performance doesn’t aim to associate a certain artist with a certain discourse. As part of the system, we were interested in understanding the way that artists’ (ir)responsibilities show through their discourse about their own approach, and the world they live in.
