Got a Question worth its salt?
Bring it along. Let Parvez check its worth. Best ones will be *bought!
All kinds of questions related to the city and the here and now – from life in general to art, education, jobs, healthcare, childcare, migration, insurance, cost of living, stresses, love, breakups, economy, banking, bureaucracy, discrimination, science, pollution, history, future, politics, feminism, patriarchy, supremacy, oppression, colonialism, museums, market, wars, profits, anthropology, space etc. etc. … in short, anything that is on your head.
*Best price guaranty!
*Depends on the worth / context / framing of the question.
If you don’t like the price, the question remains yours.
During the show, Parvez also builds an artwork with the questions, to be displayed at DOCK / its windows.

Background:
The art of questioning and critical reflection form the cornerstone of Parvez’s work. He translates his concepts into artworks, through a variety of media that include the body, text, videos, prints, sounds, found materials etc. etc.; while posing the question: whose aesthetics? Q BAR (2022) and Ask Me Anything (2019) are two examples of his previous engagements with questioning as the core of his work.
