artefact – we act – insight on backstage
Whenever people experience themselves in social art projects, they experience the – common – moment of doing, of action. Then they connect the work with what they have experienced themselves. One’s own action is perceived as spontaneous, direct and immediate. Attention is focused on the moment.Nevertheless, there is always a story before the story, a story of the idea, the concept, the preparation.This is the story of the preparation of the series “ARTEFACT – WE ACT DADA 2023” for the art project ARTSURPRISE. The story begins in spring 2023 with a call from a dispatcher at a wood processing company. He asks if there is interest in a larger quantity of prefabricated olive wood sticks. A customer dropped out and now you have this batch in stock.At the same time, there was the concept of a series of stamps that should be conveyed to people interested in art via ARTSURPRISE.…
FLUXUS
This is the story about a classmate at school, about a photography workshop as part of my art class, about a woman who preferred playing soccer to playing with dolls and about the beginning of my love for art production. And it is the story of the evolution of this production, from an individual to a social artistic creation. As Webster mentioned: “Fluxus is an avant-garde art movement of the 1950s and 1960s that was heavily influenced by Dada”. George Macinuas coined the term Fluxus to describe his wide range of artistic activities. As Britannica knows: “In its early years, from 1962 to 1966, Fluxus fused conceptual art, minimalism, new music, poetry, and chance-based work into an intermedia phenomenon, identifiable more through its irreverent attitude toward art than through the use of any distinct style. Utilizing humour—in the spirit of Dada—and everyday materials and experiences, Fluxus created original and often…
la maison du dragon – puppet theatre – first proof of concept – stage details
In October 2021 we designed the first parts of the lower stage ground. The most important decision was the grid pattern for the lower stage. It will support various connections to other components and it will be used in the design of many construction parts like upper stage, walls and trusses. Part of the stage will be a moving segment. Based on the capacity of the laser cutter it comes along in 4 segments. Each segment provides 90 degree of a full circle of total of 48 cm. Also we realised a first pillar based on the same grid design to support (right photo) fastening eyes. A color scheme should lead to seperate the prefabricated parts. More about the general project you find here.

The day Beuys deleted his social media accounts
About love for people in times of a global civil war This is the story of a look back at many years of social art, the story of the rise and fall of social media, the story of a departure into the reald world that looks like re-treat and social death, and which only underlines that contemporary artists should also enjoy their time . My path into the arts started 40 years ago. For a small German town I was commissioned to carry out an art campaign for children and young people, my first paid artwork with the age of 18. I suggested a common action painting. The canvas 40 x 1.6 m in 20 segments faced a crowd of more than 160 young painters. The rules were clear: paint over what you don’t like. Allow the following to do the same. Return as many times as you want till…
The art of Code
As an european artist in pandemic times i have to re – think new aims and goals of contemporary art. Surrounded by agony and fear, by obedience and violence, i have to question my ideas, plans and strategies in art production , – distribution and – marketing. I do not want to line up with those, who dream from returning to the before. The past moved us into or NOW! and i do not want to repeat history. This article is about a new field of contemporary social art, driven by coding in PHP, a common programming language for web server based algorithm and logic. I am designing a tool to aviod SPAM and to protect WORDPRESS installations. You can activly support me to reach the goal, to give a useful tool to more than 20 Million website admins – for free! The article is also about the starting point…
The promise of the tongue
The installation “promise of the tongue” was should first time in a group exhibition in Siegburg (Germany), later in the north of Germany (Kulturelle Landpartie) and in Spain.The artwork was part of a larger installation with several paintings and combined with a sound installation and a webcam to document the movement of the visitors inside a labyrinth. More detailed information on the artist website. As an artist i work in collaboration with the audience. The capacity to receive any information is based on basic skills to decode, trained in sozio-cultural environments. The research of the process of perception occupies a large space in my art. This work is one of the few still available works from the first installations in this series. Further links: Saatchi Online | DeSouza |
