next code: love / mission stetement #4

Practicing Contrast
Von Martin Krusche [deutsch]

For years a „clash of cultures“ has been supposed to exist. Those are political phantasms dedicated to the questions of the exercise of power. And as artists we know that our ways of doing are nourished fundamentally by the moves of many generations in completely different cultures.

Among other things the crew of „next code: love“ represents exactly that. There would not be today's Europe in the best sense at all without these historical interrelations of cultural forces and ideas, apart from which the wars were (are?) always only the expression of the interests of rule. And yet the question is still there to be underlined: Can we live together?

If in this project people find themselves together, coming from different countries based on latin, orthodox and islamic cultural backgrounds, searching for the narratives of love, this is not only reasoned in the artistic ambitions. What is pointed out is none can be done without these points of reference.
