IMPACT10 – EINFACH DA SEIN

In Philippe Quesne (FR), Tino Sehgal (GB/D) and Jim Trainor (US), ImPACT1O brings together three artists whose work present radical, subtle and humorous designs for operating in a world that is obsessed by things and by science. They place the audience, animals or cunning object-worlds into the centre of consciousness and then propose alternative spheres of activity. Quesne creates model worlds on stage which test by proxy ›real‹ life models: man as scientist, artist, entertainer. In his ›constructed situations‹ - temporary incidents which visitors encounter in exhibition spaces and, because documentation is prohibited, remain exclusively stored in the memory of the spectator, Sehgal addresses the relationships between man and object, between art and the market, and transforms actions instead of material. In his animated films, Trainor pursues the traces of evolution or human culture and gives voice to animals as well as people playing animals.
