Galerie Schleifmühlgasse 12-14
Selection of the works for the suitcase
The initial selection is done after a personal invitation to 6 artists in the curator's starting point proximity. Basically there is a broad main theme that directs a bit and concerning travelling as course of life and vice versa together with coincidences at encountering the unknown. At selecting some practical issues are regarded like size, weight and fragility of the artwork.
During the travel additional contributions to the selection are encouraged with occasional invitations by the curator to the locally present artists and always with consideration of the artworks already included. The dialogue between artworks and/or influencing the meanings between them is crucial.
One of basic ideas in this project is to bring heterogeneous artworks into intense communication among them as well as with different contexts and audiences through constant time/space shifting. This way a vivid dialogue between the curator and the environment of his activity is pointed out too.
The course of the travel will be tracked through a blog and as a conclusion a publication is planned to bring together people, art and places involved besides the analyses of the experience.
