Description
What is care and how do we care?
Who cares about the art scene?
What kind of space are we leaving behind for the next generations?
Why do we always fail as a society, in times when we should come through?
Can we clean the space of its past?
How can we live with collective guilt?
Can we set up art spaces to be safe spaces?
Can we even ever clean something that dirty?
A group of volunteers, known as Splash Mop, use the gesture of cleaning to remind us of irregularities in cultural spaces, the abuse of the entrusted position and the inability of society to respectfully confront its own past.
