  40. Francis Alÿs on his walk through Jerusalem in 2005, in which he retraced the Green Line with a leaky paint can. Video still.“Poetic license functions like a hiatus in the atrophy of a social, political, military or economic crisis. Through the gratuity or the absurdity of the poetic act, art provokes a moment of suspension of meaning, a brief sensation of senselessness that reveals the absurdity of the situation. . . .” - Alÿs

  41. Francis Alÿs (Belgian, lives in Mexico City, b. 1959), photographs of a 1995 project in which he painted a green line along an armistice boundary originally drawn on a map in green grease pencil by the Israeli leader Moshe Dayan in 1948. "For the moment, I am exploring the following axiom: Sometimes doing something poetic can become political and sometimes doing something political can become poetic."

  42. Map showing the real Green Line and the politics of Alÿs’ poetic (aesthetic) artwork, Green LineThe faint green dotted line (the 'Green Line') represents the armistice line established after the 1948 Arab-Israeli War.

The purple blobs on the map are new Israeli settlements - Jews only - built up since 1967 on occupied land - The orange line is the line of wall under construction by Israel.

  43. “Can an artistic intervention truly bring about an unforeseen way of thinking? Can an absurd act provoke a transgression that makes you abandon the standard assumptions on the sources of conflict? Can those kinds of artistic acts bring about the possibility of change?” - Francis Alÿs 2005Art in the age of doubt = post-avant-garde (Do YOU still believe that art change things?)
