Minorities and the Other within (the New) Europe

Abstract

How are we to understand the following political theory text in relation to Emanuel Danesch & David Rych’s journey from Constanta to Vienna, traveling by car and towing a caravan converted to function as a mobile videotheque? This text sets out to provide a precise and disturbing—if not difficult—political context to their work. We live in a time of unbearable lightness, making a discussion of politics in art disturbing! But Danesch & Rych’s work Minority Logbox is about constructing contexts, literally driving through them in order to show that each context is artificial, and that radical content in art today is inconceivable without a context.
