Enrico Baj
play as protest
by Enrico Baj
Enrico Baj's works look playful, colourful and humorous, but simultaneously show his sharp socio-critical, even anarchist, attitude. Baj himself stated that "only fun can validly oppose the system". Baj used play as a form of engagement and creation as a form of protest. His work was a protest against fascism, totalitarian systems, the power of the ruling class and the potential annihilation of the environment (the then new nuclear threat). The exhibition shows how Baj playfully used the strategies of satire and deliberate disrespect as means of protest against a society that seems to be on the constant verge of self-destruction. Exhibition: Cobra Museum of Modern Art, Amstelveen, The Netherlands (04.02.-14.05.2017).
