The
Brand
Conforming
to world standards, Alana Jelinek is a branded artist.
The
brand is counter-Power and the brand is integrity.
But
are these in fact 'brands'?
To those involved in advertising and marketing, every human instinct,
value or endeavour may be considered a 'brand'. Rather than compete with
the growth in market values across every aspect of life, the Alana Jelinek
brand will use the language of the corporation and the market to describe
the life-market-niche it supplies. There is no other validated language,
after all, within the art-world/-market, and increasingly, also within
academia.
The
Alana Jelinek brand is exclusive to specific contexts. The Alana Jelinek
brand will not be aligned with corporate sponsorship by Transnational
Corporations (TNCs), nor will it be aligned with commercial art venues.
Products (like books, novels and art objects), events and performances
under the Alana Jelinek brand may be for sale, as this brand is not a
critique of markets on the level of street markets and bazaars, but markets
on the level of unregulated free-market global capital. Its brand is counter-Power.
The
Alana Jelinek brand will not be aligned with any institution which promotes
iniquity and Power, whether it operates within the Market or the State.
Despite rhetoric to the contrary, it is understood that both the Market
and the State have a tendency towards promoting and increasing inequality
and freedom-but-for-the-few. Both the market and the state underpin systems
which create hierarchy, fixity ans stasis while claiming to do the opposite.
The
Alana Jelinek brand will be aligned with events and institutions which
genuinely promote freedom and equality (these are, by definition, counter-Power).
It will not service any other marketing aim or brand other than its own.
