Indoeuropean Greeting - Documena at Athens Biennale 2017

**Racist Discourse Alert** This is an opening lecture for Documena at the Athens Biennale in 2017, "Resurrection with Documena". The artists attempt a discursive mix-match of various strands of neo-conservative far-right racist ideology that since the brake of the European crisis seem to have been influencing western political discourse as well as artists too. Documenta 14 visiting Athens seemed unable to avoid romanticising the "South" and the Greek crisis. The lecture mocks the ideological naivité of left-wing/anarchist "political spiritualism" and is inspired by the influence of conservative neo-folk or third-positionist tech-folk ideas apparent in Greek parliamentary political alliances of left (Syriza) and far-right ("Independent Greeks") parties or reactionary ideas such as the "Eurasian Union" vs the European Union and the importance of Putinist Orthodox Russia as a legitimate political ally.
