Beschreibung
The Book covers first two seasons of ROR gallerys‘ present history in Kallio – The Rock City – Helsinki, Finland. The exhibitions of its members and guests represent a variety of arts like knitting, electronic music, motorcycle design, textual publications, technological inventions and other visual arts.
ROR gallery may as well be called a curator collective, but it doesn't curate exhibitions in the professionalist, art historical and explaining way which dominates curatorship in current art, but more in the spirit of traditional avant-garde groups, shrewd circus and rock 'n' roll spectacles. Even if there is an atmosphere of artistic utopia in every ROR show, the group is nihilist towards all kinds of explicit ideologies so typical for traditional avant-garde and contemporary artist collectives. ROR is totally indifferent to the impact of its artistic revolution outside of ROR, as ROR (revolutions on request) itself is already a whole world. The same applies for scientific, political, humanist, psychedelic and technological
revolt.
