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.
