Move From Your Couch! Interview on "A World Where Many Worlds Fit"

How did you select the works for the exhibition you curated for the Taipei Biennial 2008? What is the standard of your choice?

Oliver Ressler: All the artists I invited focus in their exhibited works on the so-called counter-globalization movement. They don't do their work from a perspective, which might be regarded as neutral, but they are active in the movement or identify with its main goals. Through a choice of already existing videos, photographs, slides or installations from 12 international artists I tried to cover some of the most important stages of this movement of the movements, starting from the protests against the WTO in Seattle in 1999, from Prague to Genoa, from Buenos Aires, Gleneagles and St. Petersburg to Heiligendamm in Germany...>
