About this title

Synopsis

Published in a limited edition of 1000 copies. -- In this very moment of widespread and publicly manifested disagreement on how the general framework of the organisation of our lives and economies is being executed, it is crucial to engage critically and practically with changing the reality with which we no longer comply. In the light of this awareness, Wyspa Institute of Art proposes a careful reading of the book that has collected views from different cultural perspectives, forms of organisations and geographies, and submits some theoretical and locally tested and implemented alternative proposals. The English/Polish book 'Alternative Economics, Alternative Societies' is a collaborative effort of the Wyspa Institute of Art and the artist Oliver Ressler, following the presentation in the 'Health and Safety' exhibition at Wyspa Institute of Art, Gdansk 2004, and shows the current status of the ongoing project, which has been realised in 21 cities so far. The exhibition project 'Alternative Economics, Alternative Societies' by Oliver Ressler focuses on diverse concepts and models for alternative economies and societies, which all share a rejection of the capitalist system of rule. -- The book includes an introduction by Aneta Szylak, the new essay 'Questions from an Artist Who Speaks (and Reads, Writes, Thinks, and Acts)' by Gregory Sholette, the Exhibitions & Bio sections, and 16 texts based on transcriptions of video interviews that were carried out by Oliver Ressler for the project between 2003 and 2007:
