NON GRATA GROUP [ESTONIA & BEYOND]
Academia Non Grata was created for one purpose, [to be] a counterbalance to the bend-over attitude of the art world, which was dominated by the Yankee-style capitalism in our society. Artists have become either the ones who satisfy society’s certain aesthetic needs, small-scale entrepreneurs producing pretty things, or society’s fools, officially labelled as the opponent.
- Anonymous Bow & Devil Girl with Daniella LaGaccia
Paweł Kwaśniewski [Poland] - Brooklyn November 17, 1917
In his performances he combines an ironic approach to the world with brutal
treatment of himself and his body. For years he has been selling square
centimeters of his body which were cut out from his arm.
