Proposals for the exhibition project at the Belgian Coast. |
|
 |
|
Our favoured proposal: The central monument of the count Paul de Smet de Naeyer is buried under a hill of sand up to the hight of the figure. The proposal deals with the mysterious rotation of the figure some years ago...
....current information about the project:------->
At very short notice, we have been invited for the fourth season of the Beaufort-project, which has opened this spring, to develop a site specific work in De Haan - Wenduine. Despite the enormous endeavours of the curators to convince the local authorities, the local boards refused four proposals in a row for various, mostly political reasons. Afterwards one filled the vacant spot - to the satisfaction of the township - with an already finished work by Bernar Venet. |

The release of the exhibition piece in public space for the project »Residual« in Mexico-City.
Curators: Paulina Cornejo, Gonzalo Ortega, Sabine Maria Schmidt
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
| We created for the exhibition project »Residual« a mobile snack stall standing on bended runners. With every movement of the vendors or the clients, the stall swings to the side so the process of selling is transferred into a permanent, precarious balance-performance. Changing, local snack bar vendors offer their meals in the snack stall. Thereby, all the wrappings are compostable and have been tested for suitability for the Mexican street-kitchen. |

(project of art in construction)
On 07.05.2010 the poster posting of the painting-details started in the inner City of Munich. For this occasion, a press event took place at10am in the visitors-entrance on Akademiestrasse.
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
| The project »painting workshop for the underground« arose in a contest of art in construction given by the Munich municipal sewerage company. The central piece of the project is a monumental oil painting that is painted in the style of an allegorical, medieval painting. In many talks and over a period of several weeks, the motives have been worked out together with the canal workers and are based on real events. The canal workers chose their form of presentation themselves or they entered the painting in form of a narrated story. The finished painting, with the measures 364cm x 140cm | 143in x 55in, hangs, inaccessible for the public, in one of the sewerage depots. Five different excerpts printed and mounted on advertising boards are on view in the inner City of Munich during a period of two months. |

Blind Date
Installation for one evening in the Kunstverein Hannover (D) |

|
 |
|
 |
|
| Three connected rooms of the Kunstverein Hannover are isolated for one evening called »Blind Date«. In the centre of the biggest room stands a 350cm (137,8in) high sculpture rotating without cease and, in this way, refuses closer details to the public. It only comes to a standstill if no one of the visitors moves in any of the three rooms of the Kunstverein. |

Installation in the Gängeviertel Hamburg (D), exhibition project "DA HOOD" Vol.1. |
|
 |
|
| Light pink fluorescent tubes and a mirrored pedestal partly covered by a pile of straw are arranged in a room in one of the squats of the Gängeviertel in Hamburg (D). The utilized fluorescent tubes with the designation »candy pink« came into action in Great Britain since 2007 in order to fight anti-social-behaviour and drive away young people from public places. One noticed that the rosé lightening highlights any skin impurities and emphasizes any pimples or other signs of ugliness. |

| Detail of the installation |
|
The installation consists of a tower crane holding a large mirror that is directly placed in front of the torchbearer in about 25m (81 ft) above ground in order to reflect it. The figure of the torchbearer was set up in times of the National Socialism in honour of the workpeople who built the Maschsee within the programme of employment-creation measure. The arrangement also includes a sculpture by Alexander Calder; it was as well set up on the square nearby the torchbearer in the 70s. |

The project was designed for the shopping mall of the "City-Palais Duisburg" and aims to be integrated and legitimized with its fun-fair character into the completely controlled and restrictively treated consumer space. It aims to open up a discussion with the public in this newly gained scope on-site.
The public is urged into actions of exchange; Goods or actions can be exchanged into an art object. The art objects are limited and not available on the art market.

Project for public space in cooperation with the Fa Schmuck-Armaturen. Steinheim, project of the Bildhauersymposion Heidenheim Werk 07. |
|
 |
|
 |
|
The project relates to the Bildhauersymposion Heidenheim. Artists are invited to create artworks for the public space. The artworks will then be realised by industrial partner companies.
In our special case, we were confronted with the proposal of the company to use 200 metres of orange plastic tube to create our artwork. We took up the structure and considered it as precedent. The tube became a sculpture that is permanently fixed on the loading area of a lorry.
The position of the lorry can be democratically chosen, discussed and continuously debated on a webpage. Every three weeks the sculpture is changing its location.

The installation consists of a downscaled model of an in reality existing petrol station from the 60s. A bar has been fixed on its backside. While the roof of the original petrol station is steeply rising upwards, the model of the exhibition space is balanced on its leading edge in such a way that it is kept horizontally up in the air. The bar functions as the counterweight of the roof and it is fixed with an adjustable rail on the backside. Like this, it facilitates the sensitive balance. The visitor is free to make use of the bar, but he/she is then challenged to adjust the balance that has been changed by the unloading. |

Installation in the Kunsthalle Recklinghausen. |
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
|
| On the roof of the Kunsthalle Reckinghausen stands an inhabited research station that the public can see easily from the street.
Entering the museum in the ground floor, the visitors see at first a video showing the transport of the research station onto the roof. The helicopter with its strange freight is in the beginning only a point on the horizon then it slowly approaches the roof of the museum. As the visitors advance via the stairs in the building, they encounter a system of ropes and platforms which expands from top down and becomes more and more dense the further they get. This system provides a second level of motion; it enables to move without floor contact through the entire museum. Exhibits of the collection are also arranged in the museum. |
