Spangbergianism

by Mårten Spångberg, Marten Spangberg

From the Preface:

This book is a performance. It was put together over sixty-four days as a sort of rehearsal, during which every day resulted in a showing [forbid them] in the shape of a blog-post. It’s material, form and content is the result of a daily practice, aiming at two minor issues - to change the world [permanently], and second to find a way out of our present predicament [FFW apocalypse] concerning dance and choreography but also capitalism in general [why be modest]. It’s one hundred and something pages of hysterical accusations, oversized banalities, slamming of already open doors, over the top categorical statements, unmotivated mood-swings, cheese making and paranoid [in the good sense of the word] arrogance.

[Valéria.]

Most favorite sentence: “Very simple, enthusiasm is one of these contemporary gestures that means absolutely nothing, is soaked with liberal attitudes and carries zero consequences.”

This book is a performance. One you will never forget, I have to say. At least I won’t. It made me depressed and at the same time feeling absolutely light and carefree.

[Fernanda Armada]

“… haz arte antes del almuerzo y haz un poco más simplemente porque sí. Recuerda que fue amor a primera vista. Y aún te amo, incondicionalmente.”

Me lo regalaron Lorenzo y Héctor y me tarde años en leerlo porque quería que su regalo fuera para siempre.
