“LOGO(*) is one of the most refreshing proposals in the regional contemporary art scene. Even though in some cases their actions are not considered by them as artistic, that also work in LOGO’s favour. In this sense, a significant part of their work, discusses the limits of the field of art, which is evident in the concept they reprise “no more art, just life”, introducing a tension for the more conservative agents. Through this staging about the boundary between art and “not art”, this collective manages to create a space to go through the specific field of artistic production, a prerequisite for taking the necessary distance inherent in the making of any critical thinking. While every field of production tends to be reckless, to revolve around an illusion, takes important steps in the moments when it is to objectify and one is aware of its mechanisms; in those moments when it’s structure is partially exposed. I understand that LOGO works in this sense.”
