sorry

Sorry is an artist-run organisation based in Antwerp, and is formed by Jo Caimo, Liesje De Laet and Katinka de Jonge.
The need for collaboration is one its foundations. This ‘collaboration’ takes different shapes, but comes from a necessity to, whilst acting, enter a dialogue with the artistic field. By doing this Sorry aims to offer a counterweight to solitary art practice.

As an organisation, Sorry asks itself questions around authorship and the regular mechanisms of production and consumption of art [not only art] in our society. The strategies that are used to produce artistic work differs from project to project and situation to situation. Sorry’s projects usually consist of multiple actions and reactions towards a given context, and often happen 'outside' the institutional context.

Sorry deliberately puts itself in a peripheral position in relation to the artistic field. This generates diverse 'modes of production' that create a freedom of movement in which non-artistic models and roles can be explored.

This methodology broadens / widens the notion of the term' artist ', examines its boundaries, and enters into discussions about authorship. It is an exploration of the limits of 'the artists cloak': a dismantling of its marketing strategies and production ideals, whilst at the same time subsequently appropriate them in a game of copy-paste identities and institutions.
