While our projects are always site-specific, they can take different forms: from participative installations
in public space to audio walks, to exhibitions. What they have in common is a playful approach to socio-political questions,
using different narratives to make new perceptions of the commonly known possible and scrutinize the status quo. In doing
so, we sometimes find ourselves in the position of needing to define or label our work and collective practice. Is it activism?
Is it participation? Is it art?
In our statement, we want to reflect on labelling site-specific work as „art“.
Which implications come with calling something art? Do you think differently about your work if it is called art? When it
is exhibited in a gallery? When you hear artists talk about it? Do you create your own definitions of art for your work? Is
it important to do so?
So now we’ve been invited to an art school to discuss our work. But is it actually art? In our
talk, we will ask you.
