Para Site proudly presents It May Be That Beauty Has Strengthened Our Resolve, a group exhibition featuring works by Philippe Grandrieux, Lü Yue, Masao Adachi, Patrizio di Massimo and Mladen Stilinović. It brings together art pieces, films and biographies in which the artists’ individual gestures, positions, statements, counter-manifestos, silences and escapisms share a certain tension about art’s uncertain intersection with the present.

The decision to not enter the production logics of the art system is to be read in Mladen Stilinović’s 1993 manifesto The Praise of Laziness. His ‘laziness’ (augmented by the images of him sleeping in the 1978 piece Artist at work) is in fact an active process of critical statements about art and the self-perpetuating bureaucracy around it, both under the socialist and the capitalist systems.

Para Site 藝術空間呈獻《也許美強化了我們的決心》—— Philippe Grandrieux、呂樂、足立正生、 Patrizio di Massimo 和 Mladen Stilinović 的五人聯展。這個展覽匯聚藝術品、電影和傳記，在作品當中，藝術家的個人姿態、地位、自白、反-宣言、靜默和逃避主義共有某種關於藝術與現實的不確定的交叉的張力。

從 Mladen Stilinović 1993年的宣言《The Praise of Laziness》當中，觀者可以讀出藝術家拒絕進入藝術體系的生產邏輯的決定。他的「懶惰」（通過創作於1978年的《Artist at work》，藝術家本人睡眠的圖像得到增強）事實上成爲了一種在社會主義和資本主義體系下，針對藝術和環繞藝術的、自我強化的官僚體系的積極的批判性表白行爲。
