Popular Cultural expressions and company logos placed next to works from the museum’s collections. “After Babel” has its origin in one of the museum’s most radical own exhibitions: “Poetry should be made by all! Change the world!” of 1969.
At the time, the museum was criticism from Parliament’s auditors who thought Modern museum would deal with art and not propaganda. Simon Denny knew the show before, and answered its call for collective poetry by lifting the graffiti from one of the world’s largest video game, “Grand Theft Auto”, but also by including activists, or “hacktivisterna” in the network “Anonymous “. A couple of their films are shown as well as a computer with software loaned by a Canadian hacktivist.
– What we say today when we have something like the internet where everyone, at least in theory, can have a voice and where we have a cacophony of voices? What does that mean in relation to the proposed 1969 and even earlier by the surrealists and Dadaists? asks Denny.
