The art of authenticity

  The Struggle for Authenticity in Art I want to speak today about authenticity . And about what we quietly give up to be accepted. We’re told that contemporary political art values autonomy . That artists are free. That inquiry sits at the centre of practice. But autonomy, in reality, is often something we *perform*— not something we’re allowed to exercise. Freedom is celebrated rhetorically, while legitimacy is granted only when work conforms to approved languages , approved theories , approved causes . Autonomy isn’t denied outright. It’s curated. This system doesn’t fail artists by accident. It functions mechanically. It rewards work that aligns with predetermined frameworks and filters out work that doesn’t speak the sanctioned dialect . Many voices are excluded not because they lack skill or meaning, but because they refuse to translate their experience into institutionally legible language. I’m not saying all excluded work is good.

Systemic Delusion Modellhut

 


Don't shoot the messenger.
Prominent missions.
Persuasion and exposure.
Denial and protection.
Collaboration and denial.
Espionage and love.
Systemic delusion and culture.


As night falls fast.
The burden.
The understanding.
Awareness of the ladder.
The subliminal inceptions.
The stimuli.
As time is taken.


The accountability of fallen leaves.
Vagrant clouds across the night sky.

Accountability.
The insinuated and sorrowful.

And the corruption from within.
Submitting to be changed.
By a systemic imperative.
Endowed through pressure and lip service.


Night Fall Dress
The histories that shaped today.
All the long gone festivities.
The outlined visions.
The political alignments. 
And the imposed norms.
The threat of penalization.
To systemize accountability.


Formulating a principal-agent relationship
A construct of
Agency agreements
Retainer agreements
Covert agreements

Demonstrated your loyalty
To the most important player
Your explicit behaviors of adherence 
To established norms and values
Whilst shunning your feelings 
Losing yourself to the blame game


Gown, Growth, and Beauty

On receiving a right to be recognized.
And obtaining the merit to be known. 
Honorable.
Develop your character beyond dispute.
Employ your competitive thirst to drive.
Controller.
And in the midst of suffering patriots.
Determine the political role that is to be played.


Once granted comprehensive authority.
And the decision-making body process was ordained.
Everything became overlapping.
Control was made deliberately confusing. 
Until fear became ubiquitous.
And national safety became the protection of interest.
Then shopping is what we became.
