Outset supported the publication, Forget Fear for the 7th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art
This publication, which serves as a reader and manifesto for the bienniale, includes multiple articles by writers, historians, artists and curators which are divided into thirteen sections individually referring to geopolitical events, historical themes and cultural references. The authors of these articles include Olafur Eliasson, Joanna Warsza and Renzo Martens. The publication also includes a CD entitled 'Goodbye City' by Teresa Margolles for which the Mexican Artist asked a number of music groups from Ciudad Juarez to interpret Pedro Infante's famous song, La Barca De Oro.
In his forward, Artur Zmijewski writes: ‘This publication is a report on the process of arriving at real action within culture, at an artistic pragmatism. What interested us were concrete activities leading to visible effects. We were interested in finding answers, not asking questions. We were interested in situations in which solutions are implemented responsibly. We were interested neither in preserving artistic immunity nor distancing ourselves from society. We consider politics to be among the most complex and difficult of human activities. We met artists, activists, and politicians who engage in substantive politics through art. The book is the result of our encounters with those people.’
