The
Art
of
Emergency

Anja Fußbach & Susanne Katharina Willand


Anja Fußbach

Anja Fußbach's art comes from content. It is full of borrowings from the pop-cultural, tragic-comic world of everyday life. Who:which gets involved in it discovers fantastic pictorial inventions.

"Fußbach's tradition is that of "Bop-bopa-a-lu a whop bam boo" which from the perspective of high culture is a primal scream, but in the cultural practice of the Western world is obviously the unsurpassable, dense description of the greatest possible positive excitement. The contrast is important: from the perspective of high culture, Fußbach produces trash; from a very different perspective, truth." (Arie Hartog)

Tatü-ta-ta

During their two-week residency at the Thealit studio, the two artists will create a large rug using a tufting machine.
Both will work on one side of the carpet at a time, which means they will work together as well as against each other. 

On the theme of "The Art of emergency", the resulting carpet tells of possibilities on a world-saving level, but also on a world-destroying level. One thwarts the idea of the other, unconsciously, unplanned, the tufting gun runs over the fabric and interferes with the image of the other.
