Centred on a plot of land in Järvakandi, a rural municipality in central Estonia, Radical Loyalty proposes a sculpture park formed from the visions of directors of global corporations, from five distinct sectors of commerce.
Radical Loyalty was first initiated on the eve of Estonia’s accession to the European Union in 2004 and works have been commissioned and exhibited at various stages of its fruition at a number of institutions including the Hayward Gallery (British Art Show), Studio Voltaire, London and Kunstverein München.
A community garden is proposed: a place of shared common agency created through working directly with the location and its inhabitants. Augmenting the garden, a site-specific architectural structure would house the Radical Loyalty sculpture park in model form: a 1:20 scale version encapsulating a response to a particular geo-political context that resonates to the present day, framed architecturally by a structure whose particularities point to a future dialetically shaped by this.
