Blonde Revolution is an attempt to address the problem with the ethnic branding in the art world in ‘minority’ shows like Contemporary African Art’ or ‘Arab Representations’ curated by Catherine David both in the Venice biennale last summer. Most of these shows seem to rest on the idea of victim rescue operations while assuming de facto notions of solid cultural national identities that may end by exoticizing the 'others' even more so. Proposing the category of the blonde as a fluid one – just dye your hair and you’re in or maybe wear a wig. A proposition that contains a set of contradictory pre-conceived values stretching from Aryan superiority to blonde sex nymphet bimbo (eastern bleached sex traded women or Swedish porn stars). Pieces by 7 blonde artists, mostly fake blonde, are inserted into the Blonde Revolution environment accompanied by a manifesto. Making Cultural Globalism a little more global.
