Edward Weldon, one of the ten artists presented at the exhibition How the West Has Won and Lost at the British Council Window Gallery in Prague, said, ”most of what has ever been made is rubbish that wants burning or throwing in the sea.

This was due to their sensitive composition, which consistently used the possibilities in the given space and employed the contrast between the surface conception of the external side of the window and the spatial installation in the window’s depth. This all led to the emphasis on the uniqueness of the works exhibited, which guarantees them real attention in perhaps the most effective way.

Nick Land was a British philosopher but is no longer, though he is not dead. The almost neurotic fervor with which he scratched at the scars of reality has seduced more than a few promising academics onto the path of art that offends in its originality. The texts that he has left behind are reliably revolting and boring, and impel us to castrate their categorization as “mere” literature.
