“For the last sixty years, capitalism has been running a pretty tight
ship in the West. But in increasing numbers, pirates are hacking into
the hull and the holes are starting to appear. Privately owned property,
ideas, and privileges are leaking into the public domain beyond anyone’s
control." - Matt Mason, The Pirate's Dilemma
Reminder - Piratbyrån and Friends traces the stories of cultural sharing
and affinity-building among the activities and values of the members of
Piratbyrån (The Bureau of Piracy), a Swedish artist/activist group
established to support the free sharing of information, culture and
intellectual property. The exhibition presents screenings, installations
and artworks by various members of the group, including a newly
commissioned work by artists Geraldine Juarez and Evan Roth. The show
also features a new networked audio project which mediates their rich
archive and foregrounds the role of piracy as an agent of innovative
disruption and cultural transmission.
