‘One may fight to stay alive, to overcome addictions or jealousies. Others fight for power, for prestige and influence. There are play fights, staged fights, bets on fights, there are plethora’s of categories for a fight; separate, together, in gangs. There are fights that are over before they’ve even started, there are the Knock Outs, the TKO’s, brutal beatings, humiliation, ulti- mate cham- pions and the even more severe fights to the death – there is war and peace. If we investigate the circumstances beyond more than the explicit posturing, we notice the simple fact of the pos- sibility of there actually being something worth fighting for, something up for grabs, something, whatever it may be, to be discovered, experimented, engaged, interpellated. Two ideas, modes, sets, sensitivities or sensibilities combined from separate creative entities could expo- nentiate and/or exacerbate meanings, situations, values, categories affectively, effi- ciently thereby ope- ning horizons for further investigations, ways of examining, align- ing, realigning, misinterpreting, ruledesign breaking, parameter (un)setting. There is a significant pile of chance…’

FIGHT 6/ 17.01.14 Juliette Bonneviot, Santiago Taccetti Text: Merel Cladder
Words as ice.
Going down, then up, your throat.
Let’s get off here: the title of Bonneviot’s work, ‘Minimal Jeune Fille’, could throw you back to the recently
gone popular, as for its translation into English lingo, “Theory of the Young Girl” booklet. Next, you’d ask
yourself, Why does Ariana Reines’ ‘Translator’s Note’, as published online in Triple Canopy as a prequel
to fragments of its translation by her, make for a far better read, to you, than the actual text by Tiqqun?
Not, say, for reasons similar to those which have the latter sometimes dubbed “anarcho-zionist” - for
fair reasons that, they indeed taste quite like it, at times. While the earlier half of the adjective can taste
rather good, frankly. Or so, for starters.
Anyhow, taste being taste, let’s say, she just writes well. She does.

ABOUT CENTER
Center was an independent nonprofit exhibition space founded in 2003 by the artist Lin May on the ground floor of a social housing building on Kurfürstenstrasse. The space is a 35m2 storefront
with multiple entrances to the street, which had been used earlier by the caretaker to store his plants, making use of its large windows. The space has since changed its curatorial direction every couple of years. From 2003 on, 22 artists and curators have been invited to reinvent the rules of the gallery. Center’s interest is to allow a variety of aesthetic approaches while giving the oppor- tunity to artists and curators to work within the same space on a short to middle term, these time periods ranging from a few weeks to several years.
Between November 2013 and November 2016, Center was organized by Clemence de La Tour du Pin & Antoine Renard.
