ABSTRACT
Setting in Motion is the title for the following collaborative and individual projects in film, animation, video, and texts. In curating these works we draw from Jacques Rancière’s work on the politics of aesthetics. Rancière describes a logic that has situated and, paradoxically, grounded art’s potential for disagreement or dissensus. Thus, as art becomes increasingly about issues described as occupying politics, it becomes less polemical. What is called for is a reshaping of the space that artistic practice occupies, enabling political art to be politically effective.
