I was talking with a friend about this conversation, posed through
Documenta, who was immediately concerned: "Why does this have to be
done under Documenta?  Why can't there be an autonomous outside that
is preserved?"  This is something to be reminded of.

It is important to consider our own practice in terms of spatialized
resistance.  We need to maintain independent spaces - in order to
create a physical independence - an ability to act / participate on
our own terms.
