PROPAGANDIZED (Hoet with three letters) by Stefano Cagol, 2008 Special project for MARTa Herford DVD, 4.30 min. looped + 1000 metal badges
I propagandized Jan Hoet. I propagandized him repeating his name on a series of badges and a video between irony, romanticism and depth, taking him as symbol, as symbol of Art. Finally I propagandized Art! In fact I finished with a slogan: 'Art is Freedom'. In this case art is not tool of propaganda, but is itself propagandized declaring its fair aim not completely realized. Because Art has to be part of personal life, but has also to reach power and braveness to influence the actual wide social sphere. So I transformed an Art event into an ‘Art Demonstration’, an ‘Art Manifesto’! Stefano Cagol MARTa Herford gGmbH Goebenstraße 4 - 10 32052 Herford.
