Until 29 June Julia Willms and Andrea Bozic will be showing their work “A WORLD” at Mutter Ey-Straße 5 in Düsseldorf, a manifest, which changes its shape, depending on the context of its placement. At EY5 it is an audiovisual space installation for a visitor and an empty gallery space with an outside view, and it is a signed book-multiple (The multiple you can order HERE). In the future it will take on other shapes: The manifest is an artwork and the artwork is a generator.
Upcoming Friday the exhibition will be inaugurated in Essen, with a wider cross section of the work of Julia Willms and Andrea Bozic.

Utopia of the art space
In a two-parted exhibition media artist Julia Willms presents current works from 21. to 29. of June at EY5 in Düsseldorf and from the 29. of June to 24. of August at Obrist Gallery in Essen. Entitled „A World“ the exhibition shows works, which were created in collaboration with choreographer Andrea Bozic. In their exhibition Willms and Bozic esthetically put focus on the perception and reflection of art spaces. By exploring, modifying and alienating the reception of these spaces the two artists show ingeniously those layers of an artwork, which regularly are ignored by traditional art perception.
At first Julia Willms displays in Düsseldorf once again an analysis of the reality levels within the White Cube. “A World” is an audiovisual room installation, in which the artist confronts her audience with fragments of an utopian system. After specifying the individual parts of the utopia, the proposal is inverted. Therefore the audience is confronted with a solely auditive mediated utopia – a paradox situation, that irritates and at the same time stimulates.
In the following exhibition in Essen the focus is set on the video installation „Tensiontest” and further the audiovisual room installation “The Avantgarde Never Gives Up”. Considering the video installation, the observers sight is drawn into a fragile system of a rhythmical formation of bubbles. At the same time the tension and expectation increases due to the random popping of bubbles, that fill the dark space in which the sensitive grid appears to be floating in. With “The Avantgarde Never Gives Up” the artist modifies the artistic work process by altering the singularity of the originator and thereby offers a new perspective on the creation process.
“A World” is the fourth exhibition by Julia Willms in cooperation with Obrist Gallery. The artist from Wilmhelmshaven studied media art under Prof. Prof. Bernhard Leitner in Vienna. In 2009 she received the START scholarship for Video and media art of the BMUKK, Austria and displayed her artwork on international level, such as in Vienna, Brno and Leeds.

In a two-part exhibition we show work by Amsterdam based artist Julia Willms:
At EY5 Dusseldorf we present the audio installation “A WORLD”, which has been conceptualized together with Andrea Bozic. – Again the gallery space is subject to a radical inquiry. On the occasion of the Opening Reception Sabine Maria Schmidt, curator at Kunsthalle Bremen, will be speaking.
In the center of the Essen exhibition are the video “Tensiontest” and the audiovisual space installation “The Avantgarde Never Gives Up”. In addition photographs by Julia Willms will be shown.
