Exhibit Work show „Initialzündung“
25.04.2010 to 20.06.2010
An art project in collaboration with the Alexianer hospital and the postgraduate programm “Art and Therapy” at he Academy of Fine Arts Munich.
„Initialzündung“
The art project „Initialzündung“ runs from the 11th to the 25th of April 2010 at Kunsthaus Kannen.
During two weeks 10 Munich artists will come together with patients and residents from different departments of the Alexianer Hospital in Münster in search of forms of exchange and expression. These encounters take place spontaneously within the given clinic structures but without previous planning concerning the outcome.
The project emphasises the creative process and its relevance to communicative interaction. The guest artists will step into contact with inhabitants of the Alexianer Hospital and initiate creative action rooted in experiencing different places in the clinic´s territory and tracking down individual stories of each the artists as well as the residents. This work will be done in cooperation with the residents on a level of partnership and a mutual creative dialog.
Moreover, the artists focus on the initial "kick" of such a process, the creative impulse, the spark which initiates the personal encounter and the expressive action. This leads to the question what originates this spark and how to maintain its power. The involved artists ad the residents work indoor and outdoor in different areas on the clinic grounds and art studios. The media vary from experimental materials, photography, video, paintings and drawings as well as installations and conceptual works.
The final exhibiton “Initialzündung” in the Kunsthaus Kannen provides an impression of the common work and the various encounters and leads the visitors into unique experiences even with himself.
