Border lines are crossed daily as new places are invented. Places that inscribe diffuse, disturbed and disruptive memories. These new places materialize tensions and fundamental desires that art assimilates and thus launches an endless exploitation. The expansion, reoccupation, incorporation, mobilization, become vital movements that define new perspectives on the margins that line at the course of events and art in contemporary times. It is no longer about being out of the norm or the devious form, but marginal forms as places that resist and inscribe bodies on the edge. Bodies who live on a par with opposite and strange states with each other and generate pure contradiction spaces.
