PROPOSAL:
1. The material conditions of the exhibition may be imposed by the artist/producer, and/or the given properties of the situation in which it takes place.
2. The technological conditions of the exhibition may be imposed by the artist/ producer, and/or the given properties of the situation in which it takes place.

4. The temporal conditions of the exhibition may be imposed by the artist/ producer, and/or the given properties of the situation in which it takes place.
5. All elements can and must be considered part of the material of the images themselves, as they relate to the world in which they were produced and they exist.

AS SUCH:
Montage is the discursive space that can best exploit all given conditions.

AND:
Do we really think we have understood what the words ‘critique of everyday life’
actually mean? Is it a question of describing what might be identical or analogous in
Amsterdam, in La Paz, in Rangoon, in Havana, in Helsinki, in Georgetown, in Seoul,
in Washington, in Warsaw, in Dakar, in Khartoum, in Tokyo, in Dublin, in Peking, in
New Delhi, in Madrid, in Montevideo, in Bern, in Brazzaville, in Ottawa, in Moscow,
in Guatemala?
