On the occasion of Maja Bajevic’s third personal exhibition at the
Michel Rein Gallery (“Quelqu’un veille sur toi”, 2008 and “Terrains
Vagues”, 2005), a series of phrases suspended in blue neon
dominate the Gallery’s space:
We Are Hungry in Three Languages
We’ll be on Top
We Are an Image of the Future
We Are the People
We’ll Take More Care of You
We Shall Overcome
We Want Bread, and Roses Too
Short, violent, incantatory, these phrases are part of a collection of
slogans derived from the great social and political uprisings of
20th century, patiently archived by Maja Bajevic to be used as
materiel for a series of museum exhibitions initiated in 2011:
“To Be Continued” at Museo Reina Sofia, Palacio de Cristal (2011), the DAAD Gallery in Berlin (2012), “Take Liberty!”
at the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, Oslo (2014)
