A proposal for political art as escapist – presenting work relating to outer space, the sky, the ocean, C D Friedrich, the romantics, 19th century, nature and expanded mind frames. Subjective introspection rather than the general belief in political as documentary or interested in reality, collecting subject matter outside of the realm of art - poor Brazilian mine workers.

Escapism; a concept simultaneously reaching out to outer space and into the deepest subjective space, into the ever growing unconscious, as an active intimate act of in touchedness and personal responsibility. An old-fashioned conservative display, elegant and boring, in contrast to the fascination in the contemporary dialogue with hippie/psychedelic chaos as a fake radical language.
