It’s a taboo, and we don’t often talk about it, but contemporary art is just boring as hell. It's become an exclusive bubble, an elitist microcosm where art serves to cement social status, fame, influence, and power. Since conceptualism took over, artists often create works that only the educated elite can decipher. A socially diverse audience requires "riddle solvers" like descriptive texts or guided tours to decode abstract artworks into understandable language. Art that relies solely on mediation isn't for the general public but for a privileged segment of society.
Museum education operates like a business, implying that if you don't grasp art, it's your deficiency: lacking knowledge, tools, references, or even taste. Essentially, it's your "fault." But what if the real issue lies with artists who aren't trained to create art accessible to a broader audience without "riddle solvers"? Considering this implies a systemic flaw in how artists are educated and how art is produced. The "School of Disobedience" seeks to challenge and reinvent this system.

Author"I graduated from both ESSEC Business School and ENSAPC Art School in France. As a choreographer, cultural entrepreneur, and community activist, I harness the transformative power of art to build spaces, experiences, and communities. My artistic practice explores new poetic, fragile, and hybrid forms, spanning multiple mediums, including text, image, object, and movement. I create full-length dance pieces, short-format performances, immersive installations, multi-sensory community experiences. Over the past two decades, I've founded the School of Disobedience, established my own performance art company (Gray Box), and launched the annual Wildflowers Festival. I embrace everything unusual, unexpected, and nonconformist. I am not kind with assholes and have learned to forge my own path. I am here to guide you in thinking outside the box and achieving independence. To me, the real party is outside the confines of the established canon." Archives
