The "Pettek" project wishes to run for the next elections
to the Israeli parliament, The "Knesset".
"Pettek"
project attempts to function on several levels; in the art world,
in local (Israeli) politics, on the internet and through mass media
and publicity.
The "Pettek"
project identified the election campaign as a powerful platform
onto which "Pettek" members wish to upload contents and
actions.
As creative, active
and productive individuals, "Pettek" members wish to use
the "Pettek" project as a public stage for the creation
of a new collective activity. The "Pettek" project challenges
formal concepts concerning the place of politics, and the relations
between politics and art, establishment and culture, regime and
subversion.
The "Pettek"
project confuses concepts and uses conventions taken from the different
systems in which it interferes (politics, art, finance, internet,
religion, mass media, advertisement and activism) to question their
validity and influence while applying them to other systems.
"Pettek" is art, politics, surrendering to systems and
fighting back.
The "Pettek" project raises the banner of the marginal,
the redundant, the unimportant and the subversive; and ignores the
important, critical, essential and actual.
"Pettek"
is a group of individuals.
"Pettek"
didn't invent the wheel,
"Pettek" is only taking a ride.
