2013–2014
Described by Anastas and Gabri as a 'non-project', Let it not be said... aimed to open up a horizon of the common(s) and to interrogate the social power and social relations that money bestows and imposes.
It comprised of A continuous film altered daily as well as traces of ideas, questions, encounters, and vulnerabilities.
This non-project was part of a larger endeavour called Commoning Times and running alongside the presentation at The Showroom were meetings of the London common(s) course.
During their stay in London, the artists also held a residency at Delfina Foundation around The Politics of Food.
Let it not be said... led to further presentations by the artists around these ideas: An Uncommon Festival of the Common(s) at Casco – Office for Art, Design and Theory in May 2013 and an exhibition titled The Paths to the Common(s) Are Infinite at Tensta Konsthall in summer 2014.
Regular contributors to 16 Beaver Group in New York where they both live, Anastas was born in occupied Palestine and Gabri was born in Tehran, Iran. They have animated with many collaborators and friends in AND AND AND as part of dOCUMENTA13 in Kassel and elsewhere.
