I wish that politicians would ­realize how important funding structures are and how much these can shape an art scene – shape a city.It just makes my heart sing. Despite all that, I believe in art, but I guess it is about time to find new ways (again).Every hour one puts into the project will be missed in your own practice. Project spaces are significant to counter the institutions and their market-oriented curated productions. They still have the ­capac­ity to foster artistic practices and communities, but also to be resistant to general tendencies and trends. Perhaps project spaces are now what once were the underground and the avant-garde.
