> Its about taking position . A zone to counter, to challenge, to  
> interfere - to trouble. Not only common inscriptions these term  
> holds. For this occasion we are looking for artworks, fanzines,  
> manifests, performances, internet-based projects, objects,  
> documentaries and corporate presentations. Its an almost zero  
> budget production, but try to make us laugh or cry or horny.
>
> When the first EXPOs started they had the task to promote and  
> produce fascination for new technologies as well as being a form od  
> amusement. Disneylandesque places were built, accompanied later  
> with corporate and national Pavilions, which were often enriched  
> with artworks. These conveyed the notion of an almost folkloric  
> competition, often to hide the subliminal message of all its recent  
> editions: that the consumerist Neoliberal society is the only form  
> which can generate democracy, liberty for individuals, as well as  
> changing our way of living,nourish the hungry, foster the poor and  
> also save the Planet.
>
> Proposals, which tackle national representation and appropriate  
> capitalist strategies in a subversive, intelligent or funny way,  
> which question the role of art and economy, open and shift certain  
> perspectives, will be considered for the exhibition.
