An emergency situation can seem to occur suddenly, plunge a system into chaos, alter old, familiar patterns, and exacerbate existing imbalances—and always at unpredictable times. Action is then required immediately, an active response. Fast, improvised and operating with unknown variables. Previous plans and measures must be adjusted. Because it’s about one thing, and one thing only: survival.
Unfortunately, we have to postpone the planned finissage presentation passed on, about things we have passed on from the ART OF EMERGENCY RESIDENCIES. Instead, we will find a way to make up for this in a slightly different form and at a different location and will invite you again soon. There are ideas, more on that soon ...
That was and is the point: In two years of the program THE ART OF EMERGENCY, 20 participants, the artists in residence, have left objects from the context of their work in the workroom thealit, for each subsequent residency. The aim was, if possible, to modify the found objects with a reference to 'Emergency' and to leave behind a new object themselves. Claudia Reiche and Andrea Sick set themselves the task of exhibiting this, placing it in a new context and commenting on it.
