Vision:
Within R.S.O.L. a work of art is appreciated for what the work wants and does autonomously, and not for how much money it could be sold for or because it can reach a large audience. Within R.S.O.L. the elusive social status that an artist receives is built on the substantive contribution that she, he or they has made with her, his or their work to the practice, and not on where her, his or their work was shown, by whom she, he or they was mentioned, and for how much money her, his or their work is traded. R.S.O.L. offers system critique by working from a different value system than the prevailing economic model. Professionality is in R.S.O.L. not about 'earning a living', but about being a 'good' practitioner of contemporary art. Taking art back to art itself, and to its practitioners: first of all to the artists, but also to those who study and research art, love art and work in art. Art as an open, ongoing, non-linear process nourished and supported by the interrelations and (translocal and transhistorical) exchanges between practitioners in different places in the country and the world. R.S.O.L. is a place for working, discussing and playing, in the margin of society and of what is generaly regarded to be the artworld.
