LOVEPANGS is
about lovesickness, about the pain that comes with the separation
from a loved one, about hopes and illusions about being
hurt, weak, confused, angry and lost about the pain
we experience when questions like "How to live? How to
love?" hurt like hell.
The
UNITED LOVESICK SOCIETY is a confederacy for the lovesick.
All human beings experience lovesickness. This sensation
unites us ALL!
In a money-oriented society that overrates performance, strength and
security there is no room for lovesickness. To admit to weakness
and pain often means a perceived loss of sovereignty and authority,
shame and awkwardness. The prospect of intimacy brings with it
the possibility of unbearable personal risk. What remains is sadness
and speechlessness. Our capacity to love diminishes.
LOVEPANGS offers
a new way to deal with the agony of love.
Its no disgrace to be hurt. Its no disgrace to be weak. Its
no disgrace not to function. Its no disgrace to be angry. The slowness
of the heart is nothing to make fun about.
LOVEPANGS means
integrated revolution. LOVEPANGS is a revolutionary
concept that aims, by initially working with existing emerging
social and personal conditions, ultimately to change them.
With the taboo of weakness and pain finally broken, the Lovesick Society
offers an alternative and becomes a serious threat to the pleasure-seeking
seducers in economics, politics, science and art. Joy and fun are wonderful,
but not if they are a helpless attempt to escape the fear of pain.
The
UNITED LOVESICK SOCIETY (U.L.S.S.) and LOVEPANGS,
founded by Carmen Brucic and Jeanette Müller in 1998,
represent an artistic strategy that unites social, esthetic,
economical and scientific concerns.
its
no disgrace to be weak. its no disgrace to be hurt.
its no disgrace to be left behind. its no disgrace
to be sad. its no disgrace to be angry. its no
disgrace to be confused. its no disgrace to be complicated.
its no disgrace to be romantic. its no disgrace
to be simple. its no disgrace to be strong. its
no disgrace to be rich. its no disgrace to be generous.
its no disgrace to be nice. its no disgrace to
yearn.
