CANDIDATE
GENES performance on Friday 9/5 at AVAM at 3pm
CANDIDATE
GENES IS AN UNCONSCIOUS corporation potentially associated to
particular conditions. A reaction to disparity, to the concave
injustice generated by the very era that sees it fit. Through
research, apprenticeship and action, attempting to define and/or
circumscribe what seems to distinguish our epoch : the genesis
of a genuine exclusion. For an irrevocable banishment of the difference
is in itself, right today, an obvious disorder.
