On the exhibition (20.06.-11.07.2020)
Two collectives meet for the June exhibition at Haus zur Glocke. One consists of a VIERER-TEAM / team of four from Vorarlberg and the other of a DUO from Basel; the two collectives get to know each other in Steckborn to exhibit together.
Thinking and acting collaboratively: how does it work to conspire artistically, to cover the same topic and remain in a creative exchange? Special attention is given to the question of how facts can be negotiated jointly, through creative means and media. Both collective have each formed a different plan thereto, be it a small model of the Haus that serves as fictitious playable space (team), or on a topic that fosters connection through dialogue.
TEAM are Pirmin Hagen, Severin Hagen, Christine Katscher and Ronja Svaneborg. For TEAM, experience shows that working together means above all constant communication, i.e., translating and interpreting. But what can be communicated with and about art always remains incomplete for TEAM, “somewhere in between”. Their form of cooperation celebrates the stage of in-between, because they both appreciate it and derive unexpected profits from it.
DIALOG, namely Sandra Rau and Patrick Steffen (Basel/Hégenheim), both work with different craft techniques, often related spatially as well as contextually, and curatorially; each on their own, together for and with the other. In doing so, they throw different approaches together and try to balance them. Language and signs of popular culture constitute the raw material of their dialogical confrontation: smileys, speech bubbles, hastily sprayed graffiti and tags in public space. Sandra Rau and Patrick Steffen transform this material into expansive installations – archaic ceramic objects and enigmatic anagrams.
