Dialogue Collective - EXIT
The presented exhibition is a creative reaction of artists from Dialogue Collective on Great Britain’s exit from the European Union - hence the title of the presentation. The artists invite the audience to a somewhat breakneck tour of the temporary embassy of Temporaria - an independent state of a fictional micro-nation.
In Temporaria citizens and tourists alike are encouraged to look forward, upward and outward with peculiar intensity in order to look at the overlooked, to see the previously unseen and to cross previously inaccessible borders.
Welcome to the Dialogue Collective independent micro-Nation of Temporaria.
Of no fixed abode, borderless and rootless, Temporaria is a tumbleweed micro-nation without political alignment. Looking neither left nor right, looking neither backwards nor inwards and especially not down the nose, the international jewellers of Dialogue Collective have decreed that other views and directions are required. In Temporaria citizens and tourists alike are encouraged to look forward, upward and outward with peculiar intensity in order to look at the overlooked, to see the previously unseen and to cross previously inaccessible borders. To that end, Dialogue Collective invites you to visit the pop-up Embassy of Temporaria on the second stage of its Grand Tour, to marvel at the state jewels, to revel in the slightly ridiculous and meander through the metaphysical. Relish the respite from florid faced, strangely coiffed, pointy-shoed, brazenly bumptious, paralysed politicians whilst engaging with the Dialogue Collective's response to EXIT.
