press release:
The participating artists come from Switzerland, France, Germany, Greece, Serbia, and Ukraine. In their works, the collective engages with the mechanisms of conflict, war, power, violence, and hierarchies, as well as their individual and social repercussions.
The exhibition grows out of a shared working process. The artists begin working in the former industrial hall of FABRIKculture as early as three weeks before the opening. Some of the works are prepared in advance, while others are created anew during this period — site-specific and in direct response to the large hall.
The factory was both a place of production and a site of communication, of a shared everyday working life. This idea of collaboration accompanies our working process, which is shaped by working together, conversations, cooking, and spending time with one another. All of these elements of daily life feed into the process of creating the exhibition. The exhibition is not conceived as a sequence of individual positions, but as the result of a collective, time-concentrated, and also curatorial collaboration.
The exhibition opens with a performance at the vernissage and closes with a performance at the finissage. Both performances are an integral part of the project. Additional performances and lectures will take place during the course of the exhibition.
Accompanying the exhibition, there will be conversations between art experts and artists. These will be held off-site at Kunstraum Voltage in Basel, taking place on Thursday evenings throughout the run of the exhibition.
