In the exhibition space, large photo prints are hanging on the walls showing bodyparts and technical objects, arranged in serial order. These parts originate from Wibmer’s photographic artworks in which she investigates relations between body and object, body and environment.

An example is her series titled reconstruction from 2011, ‘in which clothing serves as a connecting link as a ‘Schnittstelle’, in other words an interface of the place where the cut is made, as an exchange between the human beings and their environment’. ( Ludwig Seyfarth, relax your hips in Ambiguity – bodies, objects and spaces. p 21; publ. Kerber Verlag)

 

 

Workshop participants were invited to cut out parts from my artworks and make their own compositions, exploring methods of constructing and deconstructing through making and performing.

 

Working individually & in groups, sharing ideas and getting immediate feedback from visitors or co-participants, they are exploring their own creativity in a friendly, stimulating atmosphere.

 

This process of co-creation and using material from original artworks raises questions about art as an autonomous commodity and ownership. These were discussed during an informal evening with invited artists while the workshop results were still on show, organised by Charly Walter from Styleconception.

 

In 2015 and onward, this project will be offered to art schools, community centers and museums. The results of the workshops become part of a collection and will be featured in project related exhibitions.
