GO HOME
At the request of gallery TENT.Rotterdam the Authentic Boys developed a six hour lasting performance especially for the Rotterdam museum night 2010. Anticipating on that week’s council elections and the current exhibition “The people united will never be defeated” in which the relationship between art and politics was held in a critical light, the Authentic Boys with GO HOME, pointed at the phenomenon of political (anti-) campaigning in a very own way.
For that end they transformed the 1000 m2 size exhibition space into a microcosm in which sixteen performers were wandering around; apparently politically engaged individuals in a world of flyers, serpentine, give-aways and punkrock. With GO HOME campaigning, protesting and underground resistance were soaked off of their ideologies to submerge the visitor in a reality in which only the form of the statement mattered.
