La qualité de l'ombre. 3x3 Kunstler europas_european artist

Even during the most brutal and frightening periods of the twentieth century, borders within Europe were porous, areas of bridge-building - if not physically, then at least morally, intellectually and spiritually. Great artists and intellectuals expressed these bonds through their refusal to obey prohibitions and totalitarian orders. Horrifying traces were left behind in the landscapes of our cities and in our consciousness;
however, these should not be permitted to obscure the fact that a creative force is at work in establishing a unified Europe of thought, a project that remains 'under construction'.
Vincent Barré, Richard Deacon and Julia Lohmann have each already buttressed their own work through contact with fellow artists and realised collaborative projects. They have invited three older artists to take part in this dialogue: Olga Jevric, Judith Reigl and Artur Brunsz. Three younger artists, who have also involved themselves in the political and social dialogue, have likewise joined them: Mrdjan Bajic, Silke Helmerdig and Marc Herblin. These nine artists express themselves on completely different 'wavelengths', which simultaneously reflect the mood and the attitude towards life of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
The catalogue not only represent the works, but also incorporate the reflections of the curators and a discussion between the participating artists about their own history and their idea of a transmission that has allowed all of them to develop their own artistic personas.
