Until the 3rd of August, we will be showing the current art project “Interface” by Markus Hanakam and Roswitha Schuller in Dusseldorf. At yesterday’s opening reception Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Ullrich, director of the Kunsthalle Recklinghausen, conducted a conversation with the Vienna-based artist couple. Aside from that the artists gave an introduction into their work by use of a beamer projection. In spite of the oppressive heat it was a very illuminating talk, and the visitors stuck to it until the end.

Hanakam and Schuller in Düsseldorf

From the 25th of July to the 3rd of August, we will show the current art project “Interface” by Markus Hanakam and Roswitha Schuller in Dusseldorf. The opening on the 25th of July 2013 includes a discussion with Hanakam & Schuller lead by Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Ullrich, as well as a short presentation by the Viennese artist couple.
Markus Hanakam and Roswitha Schuller’s current work “Interface” (2013) represents an object based on drawing in a series of graphic works, which were created as set-elements of their short films. Comparable to other art works by the couple “Interface” again allows its audience to explore the connection between an apparatus and the graphical interface and operate or move individual elements. The art work consists of a ten meter long drawing trail on a roll, a wall construction and a table segment, which enables the participant to create via “scanning” a cutout version of the drawing. Comparable to other works by Hanakam & Schuller, they incorporate again in the case of “interface” small-scale plastic objects, which serve as placeholders or game tokens for the viewer as well as for future performers.

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.
