Pablo Helguera: The Mayfly Conference

This publication follows up the public event by Pablo Helguera titled The Mayfly Conference, which was a part of the Café Chalupecký program series and took place at the Trade Fair Palace – National Gallery in Prague on 9th December 2016. The performance of Pablo Helguera held in collaboration with Czech artists and curators, as well as the general public, had a form of a 60-minute conference dealing with socially engaged art. The title of the event (referring to The Mayfly Manifesto from 2013) alludes to the exceptionally short life of a mayfly as a metaphor of the ephemeral experience of a particular art event; which, however, can have a long-lasting effect. In this way, Helguera expressed the tension between time and experience, which is peculiar to socially engaged art whose qualities significantly depend on the amount of time invested in a particular project.
