Werttransport (transport of value) arises from research on contemporary artists’ conditions- particularly on that aspect that has always characterized the artist, but is still undervalued or even ignored nowadays in globalized society on a political, economic and social level, the mobility.
The migration process in the cultural sphere, where the main actors have always been the artists, is a phenomenon that extends globally and helps to define areas of cultural hybridization that recognize special connection centers. The mobile community of artists and those who work in this area carry on their journeys cultural values that transcend national borders, enriching the local cultural production with new and more fluid possibilities of comparison. Like Fellini’s “Gelsomine”, we get pleasantly lost in poetics linked to adventurous travel. As replicants we have hardly explored paths that led us to the borders of the extra-world colonies. Some of us are still looking. Others have come back only to leave again. Berlin, one of the most fervent centers of cultural hybridization in Europe, appears, in our journey, the clearest case to highlight the real difficulties of transporting these values and the practical consequences of a European policy that is still not conducive to artistic mobility, but, at least in this city, it has been overtaken by the courage and creative autonomy. The artists, our travelling companions, here have brought their works- portable, removable, easy to handle works. While it is necessary to adapt ourselves to situations, on the other hand, the value of the work is also increased by the courage not to dwell under the conditions imposed, but to rather to overcome them!
What then is the power of today’s artists? How can you measure the value of something that is abstract, symbolic and immaterial? Rebecca Agnes, Kristine Alksne, Elena Bellantoni, Danilo Caposeno, Luís Miguel De Matos, Marco Giani, Irma Markulin, Stefania Migliorati, Marco Pezzotta, Ivana Spinelli landed in a place where the sterilization process of a vulgar and globalizing Europe did not yet fully root: Berlin.
