ART RAT

ART RAT (ART WAR) is a platform, a universal mind map, a document of "schizophrenic insights".

During my studies, I recognized the field of art as a site for the production of values—a “battlefield” for constructing meanings that challenge the continuous renewal of repressive behavioral patterns, the machinery that maintains the status quo. Motivated by a desire to demystify art and the exclusive figure of the genius creator, and driven by an impulse toward truth, I extracted narratives from documented discourses.

The connections between patriarchy, capitalism, conservative nationalism, military and police protection, the criminalization of communities, class differences, racism, the production of sexual and gender-based violence, economic exploitation, and domestic labor become visible at this juncture, from which later works emerge.
