Notes:
Artist intervention at the Venice Biennale 2015. Title: #ONVACATION : "...is an anonymous action targeting occupation, media representation of military aggression, and our consumer relationship to these events. Choosing the 56th International Art Exhibition of the Biennaledi Venezia as its platform, the project invites participants to engage in an ongoing occupation of the pavilion of "an occupying power of your choice." Members of an anonymous team distribute information and uniforms emblazoned with the "#onvacation" logo, asking Biennale-goers to dress themselves as a military force while simultaneously asserting that they are "on vacation." A vacationers, these occupiers then document themselves via social media by posting selfies to Twitter and Instagram, creating an ongoing document of the action in digital space. These posts function as both document and entry into the sweepstakes, which promises a "free vacation." On further examination this "free vacation" is in fact to the occupied Crimean peninsula, in the seaside town of Balaklava, eponymous of the ski mask used by the peninsula's invaders in 2014. In doing this the fixed role of participant constantly blurred between the consumer media experience of military conflict and the real offer to interface with an actual conflict." -- #ONVACATION website.
