Trickster (details)

 

Trickster / The variable practice

curators : Alexandros Psychoulis , Kostis Velonis

theoritical support: Phoebe Giannisi

 

 

The vision of the curator of this exhibition is to assemble works of contemporary artists who, by their tactics, bring forth the reading of the world as a permanent global variation, where apparently insignificant details of daily practice find their meaning in the evolution of things, and the conjunctures are no longer problematic imponderable factors but the field of genesis of new dynamics.

In those works and tactics, a kind of intelligence still survives, which does not paralyze in front of the unpredictable (the conjunctions), which is able to cope with perplexities in front of the distance that separates an ideal project from the effort of its implementation.

Such a Lovely Thing

It’s an elusive thing

This love of which you sing

What are we doing

What are we doing?





 

I will give you anything

Just please don’t stop singing

The world will stop spinning round

You’re such a lovely thing

But there is ice forming

Upon your pretty wings

What are you protecting?





 

I’ll give you everything

And you could wear this ring

But you only love me



 

You only love me when I’m leaving

You only love me cause I’m leaving

You only love me when I’m leaving

You only love me cause I’m leaving here tonight

You’re such a lovely thing

But there is ice forming

Upon your pretty wings

Why are you lying?



 

I will give you anything

Just please don’t stop singing

The world will stop spinning round

It’s an elusive thing

This love of which you sing

What are we doing

What are we doing here?

And I will give you anything

And you could wear my ring


 

But you only love me

You only love me when I’m leaving

You only love me cause I’m leaving you

You only love me cause I’m leaving

You only love me when I’m leaving here with you

Against The Moon

On a pedestal
Shining bright
Justify me
Make me right
I can fight it



 

Make it roam
But a fugitive has a tendency to return home
Pissing against the moon
Softly she put her hand on my mouth






Softly, so that i
In the silence
Only heard breathing
Closed in living





Pissing against the moon
Whatever I do
I dont repent
I keep pissing against the moon
Whatever I do
I do not repent



 

I keep pissing against the moon

Motto

I feel better in flight,

I don't deserve as all

I feel better in flight,

I don't deserve as all

Switch it into the light, 

I took a pawn show

Went down, went down, went down!

I saw what I saw, saw what I saw

Did what I did

You prolly caught some rephrases

...on my lips

Well it might turn to motto

If I had a motto I would tell you so

I never suffered from it like your sex ...

Just terrible thoughts

If I had a motto I would say it low

From the catch phrase, if the ...now

I saw what I saw, saw what I saw

Did what I did

You prolly caught some rephrases

...on my lips

Well it might turn to motto.

Calico

Your house was a good one

Though the yard was overgrown

And your shirts were all tailored

And my dresses were all calico

Oh, your bed was always covered

The black pants you wouldn't ware

That was part of the pattern

And it fit just like it should

When I released the spare room

I never sat in front of you

And through the thin wall

We heard our neighbors argue

But I couldn't just shut up and lie

I never let you have your last night

Your house was a good one

Though the yard was overgrown

Your shirts were all tailored

My dresses were all calico

Down On The Street

Down on the street

With a basic shine

Floatin' around on

A real low mind

I see a pretty thing

In a wall

I see a pretty thing

In a wall




 

Yeah, deep in the night

I'm lost in love

Yeah, deep in the night

I'm lost in love

Thousand eyes (lives?lies?)

Look at you

Thousand eyes (lives?lies?)

Look at you



 

Come on come on come on

Yeah

Come on come on come on come on

This is shine

Real low mind

Real low mind

I'm real low mind

Real low mind

The Stooges

Of course we know

The streets are just blankets and we sleep on their silky corpse
Covered up by them, why would we ever want to wake up?
Oh, no






Well, of course, of course, of course, of course
Of course we just do not know








What in hell are we here for?
We just do not know

 

 Lord lay down, Lord lay down, Lord lay down your own damn soul

The end is like cotton that we wear wherever we go
Covered up by this, why would we ever want to try on your clothes?







Well of course, of course, of course, of course
Of course we just do not know

 

Lord lay down, Lord lay down, Lord lay down your own damn soul
Lord lay down, Lord lay down, Lord lay down your only son






Of course we know

The Last Mistake

I haven’t seen you in so long

And I think that's wrong

And I think that's wrong

This problem needs to be addressed

It's really for the best

It's really for the best

We'll be a family again

No one to steal you from my grasp

They'll bury you right next to me

We'll be together at long last

If I can't have you, then nobody can

I hope you understand

I hope you understand

I have your interests in my heart

Never to be apart

Never to be apart

We'll be a family again

No one to steal you from my grasp

They'll bury you right next to me

We'll be together at long last

The last mistake you ever made

Was trusting me

Was trusting me

Now close your eyes, my precious child

And I will set you free

I will set you free

We'll be a family again

No one to steal you from my grasp

They'll bury you right next to me

We'll be together at long last
