Parasite Art - Gnawing towards Collectivity

Parasite Art hopes to reawaken the parasite as a discourse. The term was more often discussed in the early 2000s, on different art platforms such as Kunstforum International (Germany), the P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E Museum of Modern Art in Ljubljana, or Michael Rakowitz´s "Parasite" intervention in New York. Recently, the idea seems to reappear in different places around the world, like in Quito, Zagreb and Berlin, creating new momentum for this second Issue of Parasite Art. The magazine was founded to investigate the emergence of a new form of art that follows the strategy and practice of parasitism. Parasite Art expands into a variety of fields and uses a range of strategies. With Issue 2, we propose to continue a journey of new discourse and exploration on this subject.
