Peep-Hole Sheet #11: Pedro Barateiro – The Artist As Spectator<\/em><\/p>\n

Peep-Hole Sheet is a quarterly of writings by artists.
\nEach issue is dedicated solely to one artist, who is invited to contribute with an unpublished text whose content is completely free in terms both of subject and format.
\nThe texts are published in their original language, with accompanying translations in English and Italian. All images are deliberately avoided. Peep-Hole Sheet is meant for those who believe artists are catalysts for ideas all around us, and who want to read their words without any filter.
\nOver time it aspires to build up an anthology of writings that might open new perspectives for interpreting and understanding our times. <\/p>\n

Written in 2005 and unpublished until now, The Artist as Spectator is conceived as a flux, a collection of thoughts that accompany the work of Pedro Barateiro: \u201cI will be re-writing my own words for the rest of my life, that\u2019s for sure. I will go on for my own reasons, creating my own language.\u201d
\nA work which delineates, above all, a reflexive act and possibility of a \u201crelease from seizure,\u201d departing from the awareness that we are all coopted into the logic of the Market\/Spectacle that art, in some way, foretells. The invitation is therefore that of recovering the gaze toward ourselves and the world, always staying on the scene of the crime, always on the verge of disappearance. The object, the video, the artistic means becomes a gun pointed to the temple: we can wait for something (the world, time) to change, or decide to aim the weapon.<\/p>\n
