“The forms adopted by these control strategies, and the means of resistance that are opposed to them still have to be specified, whether we choose to embrace drifting in order to accept the risk inherent in artistic creation […]. But it is certain that redefining art as a sensitive and poetic practice may well not be enough to combat the programmed disappearance of chance.” —Jill Gasparina
PALAIS has invited the art critic and theorist Jill Gasparina to design an editorial project, “The Disappearance of Chance,“ that enters into dialogue with the exhibition Imagination Adrift. Inscribing the modern poetics of randomness into a wider history of technologies and rationalization techniques, she outlines a complex history of the taming of chance in which relationships of authority, control procedures and liberating tactics are intermingled.
“Why not live in a perpetual state of construction? It would be wrong to think that things are finished.”
—Fabrice Hyber
