The new Shedhallen season begins with 13 cubic metres of Sand, which you can pre-cart. Everyone is invited to come and play. What’s the point?
At the beginning of a utopia is: A space is filling with something, it gives you the chance to respond – creatively like intellectually. Sand is a Material that is familiar to everybody, it triggers memories and to make the pulse a little. This is for an art institution unusual. Mostly you are not asked there, to respond directly to something and to be physically active. We had the pleasure to welcome as many different people, not just art fans. And to confront us with a mass that is deformed about two months to permanently. And with a Material that is also a disturbing factor is, there are so-called not in vain by the “Sand in the gearbox”; let’s see how long it takes until it annoys us that all that Sand sticks to. All of this speaks for an interesting situation.
There will be people who find the Shedhalle is a place for art, and Sand have nothing to do with art.
But – if one assumes that art arises from the pleasure. And Sand as one of the sculptors most materials, it is the perfect way to fuel this desire. In addition, the Shedhalle has always been a place that shows art, but also asks what can art be and should be. A place, engaging in experiments. In addition, We will also invite professional artists to make something with the Sand.
How is the running with the Sand in concrete terms? Are blades and Cups ready? You have to clean barefoot?
no, you go in shoes to work, a bit of gardening. The Sand is fresh and clean, you don’t have to put on a “Dräckli Outfit”. Karretten and large ready blades, everything else you need for forms, please bring your own.
Like in real life, too. There is no claim that something that you create, is for eternity.Mirjam Bayer villages
What do you hope to gain from the action?
A place that lives for two months and permanently changed. Where Amazing arises and ceases. To the people, unlike in an ordinary art exhibition, perhaps several times to come back and even bring their kids.
Smells a little after Joseph Beuys and his statement, everyone is an artist.
. The action has a utopian component. For example, the question of how people deal with each other. Maybe two, three people are already going to build something, if I get to it. You do something together? Or, everyone remains in his own Ramekins? It will certainly be interesting encounters.
Why, of all things, sandy?
Because he’s kind of a basic substance – this is going to sound even after Beuys (laughs). It needs no prior knowledge, to edit it, and his trend, his Form dissolving again, Unruly something appealing.
What if a comes and color in the Sand casting? Or eintütet and removed?
A small bag of we are bear. Just by the pound, you should not abzügeln the Sand but, we want to give him to the action of the construction company for further use. What is going on creatively over the forms, will have to spontaneously be arranged. The idea is that others can work to come to us, too.
To build, so what, and the Next comes and transforms it or makes it break.
Exactly. As in real life, too. There is no claim that something that you create, is for eternity.
