Artists’ statement
“In our work we engage in moments of daily life and the mental condition of society. Our interest in social questions and mysterious narration becomes tangible as a moment between one’s own past and a collective state. As artists we examine spaces and places and combine different aspects and material from previous research (sound, photography and video). The documents and observations are mostly rearranged in installations.“
We understand the role of an artist as researcher, catalyser within society and mediator for social structures. As artists we want to initiate a temporary, artistic, social space for discussion and interactions. The curatorial vision includes the option of integrating vital space-oriented artistic concepts and developments of the current works.
Topics like the definition of private and public space, urbanization and social issues are part of our engagement.
