Power in modernity is gradually but steadily shifting its dominance from repression to universal preventive control. Foucault was right! The game of politics is played on our bodies. Politics becomes biopolitics. The 48 artists featured in the exhibition Confinement curated by Dimitris Trikasat the Dromokaitio P.H.A., participate with works that are dialectic, collide and, in any case, respond to the space and the semantic axis of the exhibition, works from the entire spectrum of the visual and not only the vocabulary of contemporary art: sculptures and installations, videos,sound constructions, painting, photography and performative actions. In parallel with the visual part, 5 Seminars are organized with the participation of approximately seventy academics, researchers and writers who investigate the above issues through the scientific fields that we consider critical for the content and thematics of the project, such as those of psychoanalysis, philosophy, history, literature and political theory.
