Dietmar Kirves: YES ... on Dec 29 at 2:20 pm | YES. NO!art goes on: "In an age of overkill information we are bombarded daily with media images, ... , that violate our deepest feelings and values, painlessly. We are hurt without pain, it seems, as we lack the time, really the belief in any tangible purpose to consciously absorb and work through these shocks for them to become experience ..." ►https://text.no-art.info/en/rumold_no-art-sum.html

Paul Antick: HOLOCAUST TOURISM | University of Roehampton on Feb 09 | Dear NO!art, I'm an admirer of NO!art and thought you might be interested in an essay I wrote that's just come out in the academic journal Photographies.
It's actually more story than academic essay, and deals with the commodification of research, specifically in UK universities (I work in one), focusing in particular on 'itourist?', a public art billboard project I staged a few years ago in the UK, Czech Republic and Poland.
The billboard project ostensibly deals with Holocaust tourism, but it's cultural signifance (such that it has any) is, as the essay suggests, also determined part by the relationship between promotion, prestige and the commodification of knowledge. Please see attached.
SEE: Smith at Auschwitz: Research Product #5 is part of an ongoing series of projects that use photography and writing to address, often tangentially, the phenomenon of “dark tourism”. Here the author uses the form of documentary-fiction to consider the production, distribution and consumption of a public art project, staged in Poland, that ostensibly focused on Holocaust tourism in Eastern Europe. The author produces a “cultural biography” of the project that provides an account of: the relationship between it and the promotional value of research in a new English university; the performative nature of a photographic event at Auschwitz-Birkenau in 2005; and the project’s reception in the Polish city of Torun in 2009. Smith at Auschwitz: Research Product #5 was originally performed, by four actors, at Belfast Exposed Gallery as part of the 2013 Belfast Photo Festival. ►more
