FREEDOM, in a cage
[From interview with Cornelis Stijm, one of the curators of the Chaos Artist exhibition "FREEDOM, in a cage + Henrik Karlberg Retrospective" showing in Amsterdam and Helsinki.]
Is "FREEDOM, in a cage" an anti-government exhibition?
On the contrary, Chaos Artists want to show that the Finnish authorities themselves don’t know exactly where to draw the line. With his work, in a very transparent way, in front of the whole world, the artist is asking just what the limits are, what’s allowed and what’s not. Artists in the West are used to saying what they like without worrying about possible consequences, but there are many parts of the world where this is not possible. Worryingly enough, Finland seems to be included in the latter part.
Hypocrisy is not a way of getting back to the moral high ground. Pretending you're moral, saying you're moral is not the same as acting morally. The same goes for corruption, that exists everywhere. Transparency is the only solution to our problem on corruption.
Will Finland abandon copyright and artistic freedom?
Finland has created a climate of legal uncertainty for artists. Exhibitions like Henrik Karlberg’s at the Chaos Artists’ Gallery are important because they create cultural precedents. They show what can be done when creators and institutions act with courage, but also receive robust legal advice. Importantly, they enable others to build upon their actions as precedents in the future. If the scope of artistic freedom of expression is to be protected and enlarged today, it urgently requires that its contours are debated and challenged.
How was it to work with the exhibition?
This has been a very challenging exhibition to arrange. The artist is very reclusive, practically a ghost, if even alive. To be honest we haven't met him and we are not even sure if he knows about the exhibition. All contact has been with his associates, lawyers, foundation, his huge archive. We pulled it off mainly through examining the archive and legal documents.
