Outro of the exhibition 'Mind the System, Find the Gap' by Jan Boelen and Karen Verschooren.

The codes and systems that control our daily lives are the leitmotif in Mind the System, Find the Gap and in the practice of the participating artists. The exhibition brings together a wide selection of artists creating work from different media, disciplines and contexts. Whatever position, artistic strategy or purpose these artists have chosen, they all provide us with a different angle on and an alternative use of the systems that surround us. Mind the System, Find the Gap is an exhibition project that is positioned within society and takes society as its scope, a position that reflects the mission and vision of Z33. The exhibition also positions itself against a background of topical changes and developments within our contemporary neo-liberal society. The Occupy movements, Indignados and G1000 initiatives are just a few of the ongoing protests against the predominant neo-liberal system.
At the same time, Mind the System, Find the Gap also inevitably positions itself in a broader context of art history, social science and philosophy, a context and framework in which the Situationists, the relationship between art and society, space versus place, strategies and tactics, concepts such as context art or relational aesthetics, and the issue surrounding art, politics and (h)activism all play a role.
