Project The Weight lifter parodies a rush of underdeveloped countries towards the Western Unions like EU,NATO...
During one month`s physical trainings 5 artists make attempt to achieve non realistic results and become professional weight lifters. This action symbolizes the competition of EU non-member countries to reach stated standards of western civilization in a short period of time.
The project simultaneously is the simulation of the corporate "ethics" of developed society that is shown by the rules of the sports games. Artists underline that the basis of the corporate ethics is the athletic principle of competition.
The project blurs the boundaries between art, sports and politics demonstrating the combined cultural "bullion", where there is no differentiated space any more.
