The artists I chose all deal with “boundaries” in some way. Always aware of these boundaries—states, ethnicities, races, nations and immigrants/refugees, gender, sexuality, life and death, public and private—they investigate relationships between society, politics, and the economy. However, they are certainly not aiming for some sort of “alternative,” and are also not closed off within certain boundaries. There is a charity musical compilation, released in 1996 in response to the AIDs crisis, that included works by the likes of the Smashing Pumpkins and Nirvana. Its title “No Alternative” indicates that there is no longer any “alternative.” We could say that my theme when choosing artists was “no alternative.” What is important is again placing in the scene artists who stick “no” to the easy label of “alternative” and deal with these aforementioned boundaries. This transcends the conservative “there is no alternative” slogan and puts it back in our hands.
