New art and artists need new presentation forms
More than any other art form, the visual arts have developed and expanded in
various directions. Traditional museum-like presentations are no longer
appropriate for many of these new forms. New innovative presentation forms are
needed. The young curators and artists selected for “nimm mich mit” will be
equipped and prepared accordingly. The promotion of upcoming artists is an
important driver of further innovation in contemporary art. But it is equally
important to provide support for emerging curators as well.
Following the successful creation and realization of its first project under the
art.homes name, which featured young artists from Munich and Istanbul under
the motto “Friendship”, art.homes now aims to introduce new forms of art
promotion while building bridges between young curators and artists. art.homes
uses unusual and experimental methods to open up new possibilities in
promotion and support of the visual arts. Its latest project will gather artists and
curators from different countries to live and work together in an intensive
exchange. In addition to new presentation forms and settings for art, the primary
goal is to facilitate and encourage a dialogue between the curators, artists and
visitors.
Promoting emerging artists drives further innovation in contemporary
art
A major topic in this dialogue will be the big challenge the artists face in having
to work on-site in a very particular space with limited possibilities. Within this
context, a lively exchange on the understanding of what art is as well as the
definition of curatorial practice will ensue. art.homes makes the curators
responsible for the independent organization of their respective local exhibitions
(not the overall project organization) and all curatorial measures required to
support their assigned artist.
The experience gained through organizing a project, exhibiting art and managing
an artist will school the up-and-coming curators well beyond the usual scope and
qualify them for several professional fields. The aim to connect 10 European
cities through this kind of collaboration is unique and ensures a lasting process
and continuous cooperation amongst all involved. This will arise out of their
intense engagement with the situation, both in terms of time (for several weeks
in each city over a span of three years) and space (in motorhomes the artists
share with curators previously unknown to them). The motorhomes serve as art
laboratories, in which outer influences condense into ideas. This doubles the
dynamic of the project as a whole while remaining true to the character of
art.homes.
