the event of a thread
Ann Hamilton is a visual artist internationally recognized for the sensory surrounds of her large-scale multi-media installations. Using time as process and material, her methods of making serve as an invocation of place, of collective voice, of communities past and of labor present. Noted for a dense accumulation of materials, her ephemeral environments create immersive experiences that poetically respond to the architectural presence and social history of their sites.

Диана Гамбоа
Diane Gamboa has been producing, exhibiting, and curating visual art in Los Angeles for more than 20 years. From 1980 to 1984, she photographically documented the punk rock scene in East Los Angeles. Between 1980 and 1987, she was a member of ASCO, a conceptual multi-media performance art group. During this time she also organized numerous site-specific “Hit and Run” paper fashion shows. Created as easily disposable streetwear, Gamboa’s paper fashions became quite popular, and some were even exhibited in museums.

At last I am free
The Duo Goebbels/Harth (1975–1988), combining German composer, music-theatre director and keyboardist Heiner Goebbels and German composer, multi-media artist and saxophonist Alfred 23 Harth became famous for its adaptation of and departure from European composers, especially Hanns Eisler, implemented in a provocatively fresh manner into structured free improvisations and deploying content from areas beyond music. The duo was nicknamed the “Eisler brothers” by music critic W.Liefland. They later also experimented with different genres and sound collages, including electronic devices. The duo played in many international festivals and concerts in cities as diverse as Tel Aviv, Zagreb, West and East Berlin and South America.

CAPSULE
Miriam Giessler en Hubert Sandmann werken samen sinds 1997. Hun kunstinterventies in openbare ruimten zijn gebaseerd op het van dichtbij bekijken van details van het stedelijk leven. In hun multi-mediale werken breken zij de perceptuele routine en transformeren menselijke ruimtes.

菅木志雄
State of Gathering
Kishio Suga is a leading figure of the Mono-ha movement—Japanese for “the school of things”— known for their radical use of elemental materials. He studied oil painting, but is best known for his multi-media sculptures, installations, and spatial interventions. Suga describes his process as one of “re-conceptualization” and of discovering the “unfamiliar phrasing” of what appears familiar in day-to-day life.

A Poster
“In my projects I like to explore interrelations between graphic design and contemporary art. My work is, in essence, multi-medial. It gives birth to media-specific artworks, in which I deal with the public space in the broadest sense. My role is to find the consequent match between the concept at the base of a project and its visual outcome.”
