im ausstellungsraum liegt eine person schlafend, träumend inmitten einer art postapokalyptischen szenerie. sie verbirgt sich in ihrem schlafsack. gleich neben ihr steht da eine feuerstelle, die grün glüht und rauch von sich gibt, dazu eine kleine hütte, von welcher sich jene träumende gestalt etwas schutz erhofft. der eigentliche traum, ein immer wiederkehrenden traum, welcher das jagen und gejagtwerden eines yetis aufzeigt. doch es ist ganz still in diesem raum.</p>

<p>&#8230;Ce qui se dessine comme une mise en péril fait toutefois naître une nouvelle tâche pour l’art et l’artiste : en effet, l’art peut être le seul et unique domaine de l’existence où il est encore possible de transformer le monde et le réaménager à partir de son libre-arbitre individuel, pour motiver l’humain en tant que force agissante et, par là, donner, encore et toujours, un sens et stimuler les sens. Dès lors, il apparaît que l’art deviendra de plus en plus un préalable incontournable à la destinée humaine. Les alternatives à l’activité humaine se situent au niveau de la pensée entre programme et fantaisie, au niveau du ressenti entre vécu et intériorisation et au niveau de l’action entre l’automatisation et la création sans limites ni contraintes.</p>
<p>Si tel est le cas, alors l’art devrait peu à peu quitter sa place en marge de la société pour se positionner au cœur des sociétés: dans l’instruction comme dans la production ou dans les domaines sociaux, etc. Car s’il est vrai que, d’un côté, l’artiste se sent impuissant face au peu de cas qui est fait de son oeuvre, d’un autre côté, il apparaît toujours plus évident que la société ne parvient plus à résoudre sans l’aide de l’art les problèmes qu’elle auto-génère en science, en économie et en politique.</p>
<p>Alors qu’arriverait-il si les artistes se voyaient et s’engageaient à nouveau comme des &#8220;exemples&#8221; pour le monde de l’économie, de la politique et de l’instruction à l’égard du simple mortel? Ils n’auraient pas à dire ce qui a un sens ou pas, ils se contenteraient de montrer comment il est possible pour un simple individu d’activer ce qui a un sens à l’aide des sens.</p>

AHMED KAMEL (EG): «SPIRAL» at PROGR on Thursday, 20 May 2010, 18h «BY LAW» at MARKS BLOND R.F.Z.K. on Thursday, 20 May 2010, 19h<br />
Ahmed Kamel (EG) uses photography, video and drawing as ways to address social issues and to express his interest in domestic and urban life. He was born in Cairo in 1981 and has studied painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Cairo, graduating with a BFA in 2003. He participated in a number of exhibitions, workshops and residencies locally and internationally. He is interested in how society constructs and idealizes identity through means of visual representation that can act as markers of people’s social and cultural background. Ahmed was invited for a three-month studio residency (March – May 2010) at PROGR by Pro Helvetia, Cairo.<br />

A spiral usually emerges from a small point; dramatically moving and growing like a snowball. It might get intertwined and spread like cancer, or it might appear agile and systematic. In any case it is a complex composite, and the conflict between its lines is not easy to solve, whether it is an inner or an external, multi-layered conflict. This fluent dynamic of the conflict constantly seeks its own escalation, leading to its core or to an undefined position within its endless possibilities.»</p>
<p>«Laws should follow basic principles: fairness and equality. When a law is passed, it makes clear what is legal and what is prohibited, and becomes justice by itself – but it might include discrimination against certain individuals, minorities or even society as a whole. Such unbalanced laws are designed, constructed and produced in dictatorships as well as democracies, in certain cases with the excuse of necessary self-protection and the defense against perceived threats posed by others.<br />
The text used in «By law» is a translated paragraph from the emergency law that has been in place in Egypt for almost 50 years. Recently it was extended for another two years.»</p>

Adolescents from Roubaix are dancing on a frame filling big wall. The red brick is representing the past of the region, the typic stone used for the  housing of the workers of the coalmines and textile factories. But the wall is also representing the hard condition of life the kids are dealing with. Using just their body, the teens are fighting against the wall, are dancing on it, flying. A dream of freedom, success and recognition.</p>
