[ Participants ]

Künstlergruppe Wunderteam

Wunderteam is a group of video artists from Poznań, its members being Wojciech Duda, Włodzimierz Filipek, Rafał Jakubowicz, and Maciej Kurak, who all work on their own as well. As a team they primarily realise video projects that seek to uncover institutional and social absurdities.


Roman Dziadkiewicz

Born in 1972 in Opole, studied at the High Pedagogical School in Opole and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Currenty he lives and works in Kraków. An artist, activist, head of the fundacja36,6, and occasional artist-curator.
He is interested in investigating the relationships between art activity and socio-political and cultural processes. He is engaged in theme-based projects, projects in progress, actions, workshop strategies, graphic design and text projects and also collective activity on the border of art, social and educational spheres.
His interests are particularly oriented around the question of challenging and disintegrating the artwork, and conflicts and correlations between daily life and politics. Questioning the notions and roles of art in a socio-culture landscape, and the dichotomy of reality and fiction in creative art processes, Dziadkiewicz works specifically on a local level within the public sphere.

Agata Dutkowska

Agata Dutkowska is a sociologist and activist from Gdańsk. As a member of the Polish group Pif-Paf she works at the threshold of social theatre, city guerilla, and critically questioning visual art. Currently she is a tutor of the Robert-Bosch-Stiftung at the Sociological Institute of Düsseldorf’s Heinrich-Heine-Universität. For the project in Münster she will write an essay and, with Cicero Egli, compare sociopolitical structures and activist art events in Switzerland and Poland.


Cicero Egli

Cicero Egli lives and works in Geneva. Egli is as much an artist and a curator (projects on artistic cooperation at Shedhalle Zurich 2004/2005) as he is a political activist. An expert on questions of publicness, he works at the borders between art, street culture, and activism. In addition to presenting the comprehensive video work Zones de Convergence, which casts a critical light on the 2003 G8-meeting in Geneva as well as the countermovements and discussions surrounding it, Egli seeks to stimulate, together with Agata Dutkowka, a discussion about public space in Münster.

Mateusz Kula




Modulorbeat

Fabian Holst, Marc Günnewig, Jan Kampshoff – is a team of architects from Münster who are interested in the sociological and perceptual-psychological aspects of interaction with urban space and who operate at the border of design, art, and urban development. They have already worked with Łukasz Stanek on a project in Nowa Huta: see www.nowahutamanual.de
For SFX: Publicznność they will develop ideas addressing a place of disruption in urban space – a neglected square behind the Landesmuseum, facing the dilapidated buildings of the former archeological museum – and dealing with the semi-publicness of museum space like the exhibition space of the Kunstverein. The public accessibility of the square, which is owned by the responsible body of the museum, is contrasted with the exclusiveness of the public space of the Kunstverein, which can be visited free of charge.

Rekolonisation

Rekolonisation, ein wechselndes Team um Monika Gintersdorfer und Jochen Dehn, ist eine Gruppe von Interventions-/Performance- und Videokünstlern aus Hamburg, die hauptsächlich im öffentlichen Raum arbeiten. Mit anarchistischem Humor, Selbstironie und Poesie rekolonisieren sie regulierte und kontrollierte Stellen in der Stadt. Für das Projekt „SFX: Publiczność – Spontane Öffentlichkeiten“ in Münster werden sie, gemeinsam mit Agata Dutkowska und angepasst an die vorhandene gesellschaftliche, politische und urbane Landschaft, ein Projekt im Bereich Performance- und Videokunst erarbeiten.


Kai Schiemenz

Das künstlerische Schaffen von Kai Schiemenz, der in Berlin lebt und arbeitet, findet zwischen Zeichnung, Computergrafik, Modellbau, Architektur und Installation statt. Stets darum bemüht, die Grenzen von High- und Low-Culture zu verwischen, stellt Schiemenz Verknüpfungen zu aktuellen Fragestellungen und Ereignissen der Jugendkultur her. Für das Projekt „SFX: Publiczność – Spontane Öffentlichkeiten“ in Münster wird er zu Beginn der Ausstellung eine begehbare und benutzbare Skulptur in Anlehnung an die Form einer Arena errichten, die als Diskussions- und Interaktionsraum für Debatten und Präsentationen dienen wird.
